In a 29-gallon tank you can comfortably keep about 8–120 Chili Rasbora. As a schooling species, never keep fewer than 8.
Why
Stocking is driven by adult size and waste output, not just fish count. Chili Rasbora reaches about 0.8" with a light bioload, and needs 74–82°F water at pH 4.5–7. Always cycle the tank and test water before adding livestock.
