How many fishes can fit in a 35 – 40 gallon aquarium?

Is 10 guppies, 5 different colors of common goldfishes, 2 goldfishes , 5 pink zebras, 5 tiger barbs, a shrimp, 5 janitor fishes, 5 different kinds of angelfishes, 5 mollies, 2 platys and 3 female fighting fishes staying in a single fish tank can live in a 35 – 40 gallon aquarium? Can I add other fish and what kind?

P.S.: What pet store in Makati or Manila, Philippines sell tropical or freshwater fishes besides Bio-research and Cartimar? Is the price affordable?
I have 5 aquariums that has a 35-40 gallon size. How to group the fish?

No common goldfish. Period. You could put ONE in there, but that’s it. Nothing else in the tank. And then he would outgrow it and need a larger tank. Common goldfish need 20-30 gallons+ EACH. You also should not mix them with tropical fish like guppies. You could keep two fancy type goldies in there by themselves though.

What is a “janitor fish”? No fish will replace anything in your regular tank maintenance. If anything, algae eating fish poop more than your average fish making you have to clean it MORE.

You should keep at least 6 female Betta (fighting fish) together BUT they have to be the only kind of fish in the tank ideally.

When keeping that many angels you should have a larger tank. You are bound to get a mating pair or even two out of that many fish and they will get territorial. Angels will eat smaller fish like zebras or anything else they can chase down. Zebras are fin nippers and may eat up the pretty flowing fins of an angel.

It seems you may be going by the “one fish per gallon” rule which is a myth. All these fish have different tank size needs and water chemistry requirements.I think you need to research all these fish more before you decide. Any of the setups you have now would NOT work. That’s assuming you were not naming ALL the fish you wanted in ONE tank at one time. Then, it’s just ridiculously….not a good idea.

Fishing Workout???

I’m going fishing in Alaska for Salmon and Halibut. Is there a workout that is helpful to this sort of thing? I assume my legs and back will be getting a significant workout during my time out on the water. Arms seems to be something that would get work too. Anyone know of fishing workouts or muscle groups I should be focusing on?

you should still work your entire body, but for fishing you should work on the muscles needed to “pull” in the fish.
this would include primarily your forearms (for reeling in), your biceps (for pulling back the rod) and your upper and lower back (also for pulling in). As well you need to work on legs to keep your body stable and strong while bringing in large fish.

here are some sample exercises for the muscles needed for fishing

- Biceps: barbell curls 4 x 6
dumbbell curls 3 x 6
- Upper Back: bent over barbell rows: 4 x 6
wide grip chinups: 3 x
pull ups: 3 x
- lower back: deadlifts: 4 x 6
stiff legged dealifts 2 x 6
- legs: squats 4 x 6
leg press 3 x 6
leg curls 3 x 6
- forearms: wrist curls 4 x 8
dumbbell wrist curls 2 x 8
