That person could do a lot better. They didn't need to cram them all in there. There is a wide range between them being in a bucket and in the wild. If that is your minimum of satisfactory you do not need to be in this hobby. Spend a few hours in your closet with absolutely nothing to do. That is them in a bucket or severely too small of a tank. Now, go out in to your room for a few hours. There is a difference. That is them in a minimum size tank. Not ideal, but minimum.

It's funny that anything was said about people getting upset about the overstocking. I was surprised how little people said about it. In fact most of the comments were about how well the fish looked.
The fish look surprisingly good (for now). My guess is either they have not been in that tank for too long, or before too long he will not be able to keep up his rediculous water change schedule and they will suffer the consequences.
wow, look at the buzz this created 
this is my analogy of overcrowding: imagine a single family house that fit 6 comfortably. but inside that same house, there are 18 people living or "surviving" in there. sure they clean everyday and "look" healthy, BUT they obviously cannot be happy, are stressed out, and have to wait hours for thier turn in the restroom
bottom line, cramped=bad; space=good.

I never compared your fihs to a bulldog, so why do you need to let us know you wouldn't.
The way you come across is that 'it doesn't matter how we keep them'. Because of that you are not helping this site or anyone on it.
Do you know how my fish look? They don't look bad at all, I can tell you that. So you can't really say too much.

Why are you so defensive? Do you not know how to have a debate without putting others down?
I'd also advise against making personal attacks on Rallysman (or any Mod for that matter)....truly a bad idea.
I guess now I'm going to be attacked? Some think the fish are fine and others don't, take it easy, it's just opinion.
I always get a kick out of members that have been on the site less than 6 months try to start fights with Moderators.
