Tank Stocking Calculator

Calculate your tank water volume and estimate safe bioload stocking levels based on fish size guidelines.

Step 1: Define Tank Size

Step 2: Add Your Fish Selection

Your stocking list is empty. Add fish above to calculate.

Stocking Calculations

Calculated Volume20 gallons
Metric Equivalent75.7 L
Recommended Stocking Level (0%)
Current: 0.0Max Guideline: 20
Note: The 1 inch per gallon rule is a general, simplified baseline guideline. True bio-load also depends heavily on fish shape, activity, waste output, and filtration levels.
Filtration Requirements
We recommend a filter throughput rate of 100200 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) to handle the bioload of a 20G tank correctly.
