I'm getting an 8 gallon tank and I'm wondering how many fish I can put in it. I'm looking at getting mollies, platys, and/or maybe those small neon ones. I know to determine this by their adult size, rather than their current size, but I'm finding numbers ranging from one gallon per inch of fish to two gallons. If you could give me a combination of this type of fish that would be suitable, that would be very helpful.
As an aside.....do I need a heater for these kinds of fish? I keep my house at 74 degrees.
