Like Charlie said, certain fishies will consume and pollute more than others; so size alone cannot accurately determine the size of tank that it needs. Also, the fish have different behaviors. Some like to swin a lot, others will hide in a cave or in the sand.
Best bet is, don't get stuck to a "formula". Research the requirements of each species and base the decision on that.
