I went on this other forum and this guy was recommending to overstock your tank. He claimed to have 15 predators
Which included Peacock Bass Jaguar Jack Dempsey Quetzal Black Belt Red Devil Trimac Convict Bay Snook Red Tail Cat etc..
What is the max you could put in a 240 PLUS I always thought a Red Tail Cat needed atleast a 340 gallon tank?
Is this full of sh-t or what? :eek:
 
You should do whats right for the fish. The fish should have swimming room, and territorialities should be respected. Also, make sure you have the proper filtration. Overstocking is done succesfully to some degree, but it isn't recommended. Also, allow grow out room, or have a proper tank for the fish as they age.
 
That will teach you to post on other forums! Welcome to MFK!
 
I could see that working for a long time, but the RTC would have to go.

I've seen some pretty strange combinations, my own tank is included.
 
Well here is my 265gal...40 big fish

Overcrowding can work but it takes "special" care.
