hello everyone, I have a 30 gallon fish tank that I use for a quarantine tank. i wanted to know how many fishes could fit in it without causing to much stress to the fishes? the fishes I plan to get are around 3-4 inches big.

I would only do 1, maybe 2 max on fish that size in a quarantine that small.

Size isn't as much of an issue as filtration is. If you can slap a good size canister filter on there you'd be fine with the 1"/ gallon rule. 30" of fish max. Just think about your fish stores and how jam packed they are. Your qt process shouldn't need more than two weeks.

Make sure it's cycled!
