love the bgk
 
Yea, way way way super overstocked. I can't believe you put all those fish in a 60 g :-O I bet you have issues, you just don't know it yet.
I know....if I can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
What happened with the Oscar? How much water do you have to change per week with that many fish in there??

I knew a comment like this would pop up eventually...
There are no issues with the tank so far. It is a special way that the fish are in the tank. Let me explain how it works... During the day more than half of the fish will hide in the rocks (Two large groups of rocks on each side of the tank, in the pictures) and the Scats, Wolf, Headstander, ect. will stay out and swim around. But it all changes at night. And I have actually stayed up and had the lights dimmed on the tank, so I could see the fish come out from hiding, ect. without them really noticing the light. So, during the night the two Scats will go up in the fake plants I have in the tank and sleep together in one spot. The Mono will do the same, but in a different spot (He doesn't like the Sats too much) The Headstander will go into the rocks and sleep in there, and the Catfish will all come out. The Eel, isn't as active, but will pop out every now and again. So, basically, during the day the fish have enough room because the nocturnal fish are hiding, and during the night the the fish have enough room because the fish that are normally out in the day are hiding, and asleep. Its really amzing to watch.
The Oscar died of Puffer Poisoning. I put the Avocado Puffer in the tank, not thinking much about it, and he bit it and was poisoned and died.... Now I know, dumba$$ idea, I'm already paying for it...:(
As for water changes... I just did one two days ago... and I think maybe two days before that I did another... so about 3 or 4 times a week now.

Thats a really cool collection of fish, i love your ery ery, needlefish and your knives!

Thanks, and actually the Wolf fish is a Ery Sp. Red. I have seen Ery ery before, along with a Purple morph, but I got the Red morph instead. And, I've said this once, and I'll say it again. You gotta love Knives.:)

It's just that I think we should promote responsible fish-keeping. No one has to agree with me but that tank is greatly overstocked and I can't imagine it's good for the fish. Psycologically or physically. That's just my opinion.
We wouldn't want all the 16 yr old kids out there thinking it's "cool" to stuff that many fish in a too-small tank.
