How Much Is Too Much??

[Tongue33]

When it's a hatchery it dosen't count. Seriously though, is it a hatchery or is it a LFS? Do you breed the fish on site?

.

All of the above depending on who you are

I keep 40 tanks and think thats about the limit.After my kids are grown and I retire If im still in good health I might do more

im jealous i only have 6 tanks right now and one is empty

Number of tanks is one thing, how many gallons all-up is another!! You might have 50 tanks, but if you only keep killie fish then you might have less water than someone with one monster tank.

I've got an 80g, + a 40g and 30g growing fish out for the 'main tank'. I'm planning a ~220g tank soon, and I'll keep the 80g to grow up a heap of loaches, plus keep some smaller fish.

My average size tanks are probably the 20 450gal tanks. I have a bunch in the smaller 100-200gal range and a couple larger than 450. The largest tank running is a 650 tropical gar tank.

oddball wins.
Myself, only four, 75, 55, 30, and 10 for the amphibians. If you're barely keeping up, you don't need more.

I have 9 running right now,but before i moved i had 21 running with 1,500 gallon pond i will easily max that again if not more in the future.I just had to down size while moving and new baby, but i feel everyone has adjusted so i will start adding soon.

How does one man manage all this ... I would say as long as you can afford it and as long as you can maintain {most important} and you have good knowledge of fish keeping and are just dedicated to it.. the numbers are not an object to concern your self with.
