I have a 240gallon 8x2x2 with 20 fishes:

Fish:
1 24" Black Arowana
1 15" Arowana
5 6" Uaru A.
5 4"-8" Green/gold/red shoulder Severums
1 4" Flagtail
1 6" Distichodus Sexfaciatus
1 7" Red Blood Parrot
5 5" Red Hook Silver Dollars

Filtration:
30 Gallon Wet/dry
Fluval Fx5
2 Aquaclear 70 powerheads with sponge filter attached

Is this enough filtration for 20 fishes?
 
well, an easy way to tell if you have enough filtration is to test all of your water parameters.
If you have amonia and nitrites present you dont have enough filtration.
also test your nitrates so you know what is needed to keep them in check.
