I consider my 180, little bigger than some of the ruts in the road I see here, and some of them probably contain more water than my tank during the rainy season. That's why I try to keep the size fish it contains to a minimum, do daily water changes, and am heavy on the aquatic and terrestrial plants.
As of now, no fish over 6", most 4" or under.
If something else becomes available that I can't resist, I intend to reduce numbers some of the current residents.
I am probably more conservative than most, because my nitrate goal is 5ppm before a water change, and so far with the stock in the tank now, that has been achievable.
