are these tanks overstocked?

[jsodwi]

I found these pics floating around, I wonder what kind of filtration I need to pull this off

Those have been circulated on here dozens of times, mainly in this thread here.

Link with same pics

As for how - Water Changes. Water Changes. Water Changes.

The bottom tank is a 180g 6'x2'x2' with a Arapaima approx 4' long in it, so it makes it look small.

Both pics look like cruelty to me, even if the water quality might be perfect (which it would not be)

Just my opinion

 

[peewee]

Scream? I can't hear it because those pics are 100% legit.

The arapaima are screaming for a bigger tank.

The 1st picture is passable

have you buys never herd of 24/7 water change

the whole tank maybe changing the full tank water 2-3 times per day i have this system running and change 10% of the tank water 100g per day i can turn it up to 800g per day if i want in the summer months

so yes it is passable and keep the water better than any filters
