Calcula el número adecuado de peces según el área superficial del tanque. Utiliza la fórmula de solubilidad de oxígeno basada en el área superficial para recomendaciones precisas.
A common rule is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. However, this varies by species. Some fish need more space, others less. Research your specific fish's requirements for accurate stocking.
Surface area determines oxygen exchange. Shallow tanks with large surface area can support more fish than tall, narrow tanks of the same volume. Aeration and filtration also affect oxygen levels.
This calculator uses surface area guidelines. Actual stocking depends on fish species, behavior, and tank maintenance. For precise recommendations, consult an aquarium specialist.
Overstocking leads to poor water quality, stress, and disease. Start with fewer fish and add gradually. Monitor water parameters. If ammonia or nitrite rises, reduce stocking or increase filtration.
Acclimate new fish slowly to prevent shock. Float the bag in the tank for 15-20 minutes, then gradually add tank water to the bag. After 30 minutes, gently release the fish. Avoid sudden water parameter changes.
