maybe not completely yet but you will be.

my gut is telling me it is just enough, maybe i am wrong.. hence, i would like to get a second opinion.

i am definitely not adding more fishes tho... reducing the stock? possibly.

Picture those bass at about 5lbs each. Those rays have a lot of growing to do as well. Fine for now provided you are keeping params in check, but it will certainly look tighter over time.

1 aro is cruising above, 3 rays cruising bottom, and 7 fishes in the middle.
i dont know if it there are too many middle level fishes... hmmmm

too many fish that will outgrow that tank is really the issue.

the oscars and pbass sometimes fight each other... is that normal? or just because the mid level is too crowded?.. hmmmm....

if i reduce 1 oscar and 1 pbass, would the stock be fine?..

you aren't seeing what I'm saying here.


the aro, the rays and the bass will all outgrow the width of that tank. all of those fish can easily hit 2 feet long and over, leaving very little room to turn around in.
