Question
hi, i have a 46 liters aquarium and i would like to give me an opinion on how much fish can i keep  in this aquarium and what type of fish are suitable. thanks for your help  

Answer
Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your letter. You can get 3 - 5 fish that will grow large, or about 6 - 8 smaller fish. Be sure to having hiding places for them. Check with your local aquarium supply shop about what is available. They can recommend fish. Avoid angel fish, which can be aggressive. Also, do not get betta, which need solitary confinement they are so aggressive.
Above all, please avoid overfeeding and use the product "Cycle" (friendly bacteria) to treat the water.
