Regardless, just because you don't know what the fish is thinking doesn't mean it shouldn't be given proper care.

Really, can you give an example? This is the most overstocked tank I've seen on here (well technically the second most overstocked, the most overstocked was just insane), so I'll be pretty surprised if you can find one that is worse and hasn't resulted in a flame-fest. The only overstocked tanks I've seen here that have been popular were at least big enough for the maximum sizes of every fish in them.

BTW, pacus need way more than a 360 gallon.

The sad thing is that there are much bigger tanks on here, much more over stocked...and people love those tanks.

BTW, pacus need way more than a 360 gallon. I disagree, but either way, a 250g is not enough.

I have posted in that thread, and I didn't see any tanks this overstocked, and if there were any, I seriously doubt that everyone liked them.
Did I upset the children in here? I never said I condone his tank setup and I know for a fact two of his fish alone need to be moved NOW. A few of his fish actually look pretty damn healthy though.Ohh and true story I have about 200 fish in my 125 right now...are you mad at me? <--That depends on what species they are and their sizes![]()
