If you know it's over-stocked why do you keep so many fish?
As far as I'm concerned, no they don't look great I like to see fish that can swim round their tank easily, in this case your tank is far from it.

There are some nice looking fish in there, i dont like the big catfish and the gouramis, but thats just my taste. the Oscar's look cute, what's that cichlid that almost has a head that looks like a Green Terror?

Is that the actual set-up Bogster or a holding tank?

You say "dont look they all look great", i am not sure if you are trying to get a reaction from peeps or are genuinely thinking they all look great.

I do like some of the fish as stated, and what looks "great" is often a matter of opinion and not fact, but i would like to see some of the fish go and some more furniture in the tank

but thats my preferences

so bogy what is the reaction to your tank on the MFK feeping forum? do they approve oo these conditions?

fish all look healthy though i dont see a need to mix so many different fish! Just My opinion

telboy · #8 02-29-2008, 06:13 PM

nice fish,but title says it all bog,far too many fish in that tank,even half the number of fish would be too many...ive not said anything in the past because i dont like flaming folk but,i think its about time you put the needs of the fish before your apparent need to look cool on mfk + oddball express

I have removed the pearsei, brasiliensis and texas as they were getting pikced on.

Can I ask why you keep fish? Is it status? I know there were some "words" said on the old forum, but I just can't work out why you feel the need to so overcrowd your tanks. You have more fish in that 1 tank than I have in almost 300gallons of water, I have so few in them because I care about my fish, their welfare and room to move about. I said this in another thread on this forum, but will say it again, you really are going to study animal care?
