The "one inch per gallon" rule

[Jake_Df]

simple version= fish can turn around and swim straight, tank is fine

What if you don't follow the rule

So is the "one inch per gallon" the same as "one drop per gallon"??

 

[oscar fish lover2000]

i use this rule, it is much more effective, 1 gallon for every cm of fish

wonder if there's a rule for length of fish = footprint of tank, for large fish. Like tank length = 3x fish length, tank width = 1.5x fish length, tank height = 1x fish lenght or something like that.
