Very much depends on how many times you want to water change a week?

1 WC= 1 GF
2 WC= 2 GF
3 WC= 3 GF

Frequency based on per week basis.

From my personnel experiences, 4ft X 1.5 X 1.5 or 60G, for my 5 GF, I need to change water every 4 days, 100% water change. My nitrates hits 60ppm on day 4. But with 3 GF, I can do with once weekly water change before Nitrates hits 60ppm.

For 5ft, my guess is 5 GF can do with once weekly water change at 100%.

My above estimation is based on 4 feeding per day, if you intent to feed only twice per day, your water conditions should do better.

Depends on size of fish, how often you feed them and water change. Some general guideline is 50l of water for each GF.
