Well shoot if it works 100% of the time then why didn't you say so lol



I know where everyone is coming from that posted their concerns , I do , but I also have to give people advice on how many fish can they have almost dialy , it's actually a very common question that has a not so easy answer.


The answer seems to vary every time I say it lol


Personally I think a combination of things like size of tank in dimensions , size of fish , fish eating and swimming habits , fish community habits as well the other facts that no one has mentioned like equipment , rock layout has to play in the whole scheme of things.

Ya, being serious for just a moment, yes, you're right. A tang needs a 6' tank. Except what if that tank is full of rock. Then an empty 4' tank is better. Right? Maybe, maybe not.

If you can maintain water quality, fish don't get sick from stress, don't kill each other fighting, and there's room for all of them to be fully submerged, then you're good.
Unless you're not. It depends.

Regardless of the state of this particular tank's stocking, I don't think it has any bearing on the fish dying. I'd have to double check with my brain tho, it may disagree.

If there is a lot of fish scraping it out.... Overstocked....If a fish can hardly turn around... Oversized. If your skimmer can't keep up for the amount of fish you have..... Call it what ever you want. I know when my house gets overstocked with people I start to chase them out
