Okay I have done all I can got the temperature perfect the cycling over and done with and I am ready to go out and get my fish I want to get guppies only as my tank is set up for exactlly their needs. So how many can a 17 ltr tank take?
Answers:
Consider it as 1 guppy per 2 liter, so you can float in about 6 or 7 of them easily, but upto 10 is very ok.
Make the tank planted, they like it.
seriously dont get too many as guppies breed like rabbits, you could start with a few of each sex and just breed your own!! get yourself a sucker also to keep your algie low.
you can have about 8 guppies maximum in a tank that size i wouldnt add more than about 3 at a time and then wait a day or two in between adding more so the bacteria in the tank can catch up with the waste being produced by the fish.
You need to check the surface area, there is a conversion for total lenght of fish based upon this.
It does not really matter how deep the tank is, or how many litres - surface area is what matters.
Pumping oxygen into it does allow you to keep more, but if you have a power cut, you will be in trouble.
Length of tank * Width = Water surface area / 40 cm (standard) Now, divide the size, or the average, of the fish you want to add.
Example:
90(cm)* 35 (cm) = 3150(cm2) / 40 = 79 / 5(cm) = 15 fish.
The key is to always understock as well - less fish, less waste. Say you had 14 fish instead of 18, then it obviously you won't get that extra waste in your tank. Always add fish sparingly when you start off your first aquarium
I'd say you could put about 4 Male Guppies in there.
The "1 inch of fish per gallon" rule isn't that accurate.
As long as you have good filtration, you'll be fine.

17 / 3.75 = 4.533333333... gallons. well you can get about 6 - 7 guppies. If I were you I would get 7 guppies. 2 male and 5 females. then you can have more fish. plus more babies.
Well i think most of the formulas given are just a guide. It depends not only on your tank size but your filter strength as well. 10 is a OK number.
1 cm of fish to 1 liter of water...
As guppies grow till about 3-4 cm, then you can have about 4 or 5 fish.
do not put a lot in *** they bred like rabbits you will get so many that you will not know what to do with them
