    depends on the seahorse but most should be in at least a 40 gallon tank. unless they are dwarfs.

    LIST UPDATED
    I got rid of the "most gobies" in the 20 gallon bracket and added all of the new suggestions.
    Keep them coming ;)

    Actually nowadays most beginners get cubes, so "normal" dimensions aren't so normal anymore. 36 gallon tanks are cubes now, whereas my 38 gallon in 2001 was 3 feet long.

    i think to solve this we should do all the normal tanks then do a separate thread for biocubes and weirder tanks such as

    34 gallons
    12 gallons
    8 gallons
    16 gallons
    38 gallons
    36 gallons
    55 gallons

    just some odd dimensioned tanks.

    We will call a 36 gallon 40 gallons of space. I see where you are going with this, but there are so many extraneous variable to have a 'perfect' list. This list is only for ideas and guidelines. This list is not to decide if a Royal Gramma should go in a 30 gallon tank insted of a 20 gallon tank. Do you know what I mean?
    This is to help people who think they could put an emperor angelfish in a 60 gallon tank.
