Hard to say. Depending on what fish and how they were getting along, maybe as much as 20-30 for me. Or as few as 6 .. I really don't know.

IF and I do mean IF I get my 280g online, I'm not rushing out to put more fish in there beyond what I already have in my 110g. I have .. um, let's see. Eel, tang, rabbit, butterfly pair, chromis pair, dottyback, bellus pair, and potter's angel. So around 11 I guess.

Totally depends on the group dynamics and whatever hits my interest at any time. I'd love a lavender tang or a lieutenant tang or an achilles one day. Or a crosshatch trigger but they get so darned big and I don't think the 280g is enough tank for a pair (and I really prefer pairs of or small groups of fish over solitary individuals, whenever possible)..
