The amount of fish depends on what type want or own. The most popular cold water fish is the gold fish. They are about 2 to 3 inches long. The sizing rule is 1 inch of fish per gallon. I would recommend 1 or 2 gold fish. It is unhealthy for the fish to live in an overpopulated tank. Note to never place 2 or more betas in the same tank or they kill or fight each other.
