Its funny how everyone is giving this guy a verbal BJ yet when browsing these forums daily over the last couple of months, I have noticed that the same guys are always all over other guys with their "you need a bigger tank" or "your tank is way too overcrowded" comments. If someone had suggested this you guys would be out in full force with the flamethrowers...but i guess actually seeing the successful setup makes a difference.

Most of the posts on MFK regarding improper stocking are directed at two things: TAnk not big enough for fish to turn around, or filtration not adequate.
 
:ROFL: :ROFL: Man don't take that crap personally..

Your tank isn't necassarily my favorite.. but no because of care or fish health..

Mainly cause lots here will talk smack to people about tank size and requirements and then give you props... Kinda bias huh.. My bad :(

Personally I think you take excellent care of your fish and your fish show it...

So let that slide off your back..

I agree that your fish look great but I can see where others are coming from. You have species in there capabile of reaching nearly 4'. I don't have problems with heavy stocking if done right and maintained right but I don't agree with keeping fish that grow larger then their tanks can handle. No offence, maybe you have upgrade plans or intend on getting rid of them in the future but if you plan on keeping them for the duration of their lives I'm sorry but I just don't agree.

BTW, I'm just curious. What are your water changes and filtration like? How high do your nitrates climb in a given amount of time?

my opinion:
your fishes are great. really.
your filtration is highly efficient.
your water clarity is superb.
your dedication, WOW.
your tank dimensions... probably a little short.
but of course that's just me.
I enjoy seeing my fishes swim around and a bigger tank is what they need in order to do that.

my advice:
buy a lock. I'll save for a BIG tank and I'm gonna steal those rays! :D
and those dats... and the aro... the endlis... tigrinus...

I'll agree with that, they could use more "personal space", but at least you keep your fish healthy, and they show it. Get a bigger tank for soace reasons if you can, but if you can't, you are probably still in the top 1% of fishkeepers as far as water quality and health. I am guessing on water quality but I doubt you keep thousands of $$$ in fish just to watch them die. Haters be gone, go pick on the people with Alligator Gar in a 55, and so forth, I will happily PM you a link.

Very nice fish, not quite as "well" stocked as your average Asian tank though, like the one I saw a couple of weeks ago on this site that had substrate made of 100's-1000's of live feeders. Your fish look healthy and water is crystal clear, but, I would not want it as it is overstocked. For me too many big fish in too smaller tank.
As for the people posting the "their just haters" BS, I have seen many of you post a tank in overstocked with less % of fish in them. How many of you could honestly say you've never said a 55 is only big enough for a SINGLE oscar, by the standard of this tank I could easily have 3 and a couple of plecos to boot.
Once again your fish look very healthy in what looks to be great water conditions, pity the tank size is so pitiful. I hope you upsize in the future and leave the fish room to move comfortably.

What a lot of people don't understand is that many of those fish in the wild spend their entire lives in a very small area. They find a home and stay there. These aren't blue whales, they don't roam. If your tank can handle the bio-load, then your alright. Awesome Aro!
