Ammonia bacteria for fish tank?

Now here is a question about making the ammonia bacteria...The bacteria needs around 5 ppm to form and grow, and if more than 8 ppm(right?) it will die. But what about how much? Let's say if you take a 1 gallon tank and put a filter in it and enough ammonia to make it 5 ppm, which wouldn't be that much. Now take a 20 gallon tank with filter and you add the 3.8 mL of ammonia to make it 5 ppm, a considerably large amount needed for a bigger tank. Now will the 1 gallon tank produce less, the same, or more bacteria?
