This is (almost!) exactly what it sounds like...can fundulus be comfortably kept in a 10 gallon? If so, in what numbers?

my wife kept one F. cingulatus by himself (he went all highlander on the others) in a six gallon eclipse office tank for a couple of years.

It depends on the Fundulus. Catenatus? No. Notatus? Probably. There is a difference between a tank that a fish can survive in and one where you can see their natural behavior. Fundulus tend to form large schools in shallow water, which a 20 Long or 33 Long does a great job of showing.

F. lineolatus might be a bit calmer than some others, you might try a M-F-F trio but no more than that.

I have 10 golden topminnows of various sizes in a ten gallon by themselves. They seem to be getting along just fine. Seems like regardless of what size tank I put them in, they chew the hell out of the fins on any other fish, so they got put in time-out.

Sounds more like the penalty box!
