That's actually another good point.

We both have 150g tanks , same dimensions even and same fish....if it was possible same every little thing.....

I do %100 water changes and you do %10 water changes

Do I get to keep more fish ?

Yes. With this consideration. While both tanks appear to be the same, I'm certain that if you could quantify it, the tank with more clean water has healthier fish, which makes them more resistant to stress related problems.

Theoretically you could, but in practice, the fish would be flopping around on the bottom of the tank every time you drained 100% of the water, so now I'm not sure...

Done it a few times, fish seem to manage ok. They're flat, so it's not a biggie
