Isn't overstock unhealthy for the fish? Compation for food (but then again, there's plenty of that LOL), space, water quality, ect.?

Yes and no. Overstocking is not recommended but doesn't mean it always bad. This is typically true when you put a pacu in a 10g tank. This is definitely a Not to Do! Here is a perfect example, imagine two cities the same size in geography but one has a population of 10,000 and another has a population o f 100,000. Both cities are prospering. Whether you choose to live in a big city or small city is all a matter of preference. Would you still say it's wrong to overstock? I think it's a more of a matter of preference. Overstocking will lower the margin of error on food, water quality, etc. I have to monitoring it closely to make sure everything is running right.

Thanks man. I'm sure your tank is a lot nicer.;) I'm still working my way up to baller status like you.:D I don't like watching them doing death rolls cuz they make a mess and risk of injury of smacking their head into the tank bare bottom.

Nice! Did you just turn a light on at the beginning of the video or are they always that active when they know its feeding time?
I like the big guy trying to get under the driftwood at 1:15.

they used to b skittish when they were in another tank with more hiding places. in this setup it is pretty open so they got used to me. i turned the light on a few hours before feeding. yea, they usually active during feeding time. the big teugelsi u saw will even eat shrimps from my hand
