To answer the question, you would first have to know the exact sizes of the fish as well as how many fish tank accessories are in the tank.

Regarding the number of fish that a tank will hold, a helpful guideline to follow is one inch of slim-bodied fish for every gallon of water. Now, while this formula is a good one, you do need to consider the type of fish. For example, stocking the tank with one-inch of full-bodied goldfish compared with one-inch of slender Zebras gives you a little more leeway with the Zebras. Obviously, this rule would be adjusted according to the size of fish and the space needed once it matures. Let us say you were interested in stocking Swordtails, Platies, or Loaches. In this case, the rule would be changed to half an inch of medium bodied fish per the tank's water volume. Keep in mind that the total gallon capacity of a fish tank has little to do with the number of fish it can handle. Instead, it is the other way around - the mature size of the fish is what limits the number that can live in the fish tank.

I think it is one fish per gallon, for smaller fish anyway
