This is a great tool, but it is leaned towards people that are experienced with heavy stocking. According to the calculator, you can out 6, 4 inch fish in a 10 gallon......ever see 6, 4 inch fish in a 10 gallon? Lol.

Please give me an example - I'd like to check that out.

The problem with it, is it doesn't let you choose male or female. And many different species have 1 sex be larger or smaller. Many of them have a substantial difference. It tends to lean towards the smaller side.

You made a public statement that I would like to check out. Please give me an example that you used with the wrong results. Thanks.

If you have a species example with a 2" female and a 4" male then it would also be appreciated.

Yea it is a public statement. And the calculator is wrong. It's wrong for small tanks and small fish such as mollies and it's wrong for big tank with big fish such as shovelnose. Plus, it puts way too much credit for filters which seems to increase your tanks swimming area for the fish. It is also wrong in regards to compatibility. Nor does it take into account for the amount of waste produced by different types of fish. Or cool water white clouds living with tropicals. It's flawed. I'm sorry you can't understand that. Also to boot, it tries to tell you minimum and maximum for schooling or non schooling fish. Yet you can have fish that should absolutely be in a school all by itself, with a fish that would eat it, in a tank to small, and the wrong temperature.

I can sympathize with your feelings but you still have not given me an example, after 3 requests.

If you think the tool is incorrect, put your energy in sending an email to their support with your concerns. That would be a public service from you as it is a widely known and used tool.

Without a concrete example that shows the tool to be wrong in specific cases, you are just taking up space. A behaviour unbecoming.

You just apparently haven't messed around with it and tested it. I couldn't care less about emailing tech support because I don't use it since it's flawed. That's it. Do some googling or test it yourself.

You made it explicitly clear who you are and the value of your opinions and knowledge. To me, it's less then 0.
