If I'm not mistaken, that's roughly 29 gallons.
I'll let Dakotak or someone else who is more well-versed in goldies, correct me if I'm wrong, but only one or two. Two would be kind of overstocked because of the 20g + 10g for each goldie. (algebraically, 20 + 10n when n=number of goldfish woo /nerd)
Yup 2 max. Honestly I would only keep one.

Thanks, I can never remember how many gals it is for goldies.

I'll have to get 1 then, fish die when I keep them in even numbers.
Though I could get 2 tubs, keep a pearlie in one & bubble-eye in the other. They wouldn't need airholes in the lids would they? Cuz I could stack em.

If you get them in tubs I dont recommend putting the lids on so you can have gas exchange. Goldfish need lots of oxygen. Plus how would you keep the filters on? Definitely no stacking. If they fell that would be terrible. Not to mention they would always be in the dark and mess up their sleep cycle. Not a very good way to keep a fish IMO.
Remember, quality of life is better than the quantity of lives you keep.
If you cant keep 2 then dont get 2. Only get as many as the tank allows and you feel comfortable with.
Dont forget they need twice the size of the tank in filtration and 10x the tank in GPH.

So, I have a few questions about stocking my tanks.
I already know my 75 gallon is over stocked, and my 2.5 gallons are full with one Betta each.
In my 20 gallon I have 2 African Cichlids. Is that overstocked?
In my 15 gallon I have a Powder Blue Gourami and a Clown Loach. Would anyone else be able to be in this tank?
In my other 15 gallon I have a Delta Tail (female) Betta and 2 Glass Catfish. How many other could fit in this tank?
In my 10 gallon I have 2 African Dwarf Frogs, would I be able to put any more of them in the tank?

Clown loaches are schooling fish so groups of 6+ are best but I don't think they would all fit in a 15gal.

Yeah, clown loaches definitely need school and get way too big for a 15.

m as in what? Metres? How deep is it? Depending on species, probably 15-20 easily.
It is a bit less that a metre deep but I am accounting for when they turn into adults as well and will the eat normal food that you can buy from the shops?
