There are too much fish in my aquarium?

[augustocgu]

now in my 125G
3 - oscar
2 - polypterus
1 - pirarará
1 - surubim
1 - florida gar
3 - bala shark
1 - clown knife
still too much?? because it's gonna be so hard to choose one more to leave
I didn't have idea that my "king size" tank was it that small...

and for a while in my 26G untill I find a new home for them
1 - chauceus
1 - red tailed shark
1 - black labeo
1 - surubim
1 - clown loach
2 - pangasius

and since then the 2 tiger oscar already have a new owner
and I'll talk with the guys in the fish shop for some help too
but for now that's what I can do, or better, undo!!

one more time thank you guys for the support
next time i'll try to put some pics of them...

Yes, you are still really overstocked. You basically took out the only fish that are appropriate to that tank size. Aside from maybe two oscars if you can get a compatible pair, and depending on the species of poly, you need to get rid of most those fish or upgrade tank size.

Augusto,

It´s what the above poster said.

You took out the smaller ones (except for the pangasius which get really big) and kept the ones that get bigger.

That is not going to solve your problem, unfortunatelly.

I know you said they are all small at the moment, but they will grow...

I say if your biological can handle the load and all the fish get along no fighting. I see nothing wrong with heavy stocked tanks. As long as you keep up on monthly water changes.

I keep 60+ fish in my 300 with lots of them over 15"

IMO, the problem here isn't the "Room", but how many fish he has that can get bigger than the tank. florida gar and pangassius have been known to get 3 feet long. clown knives, 4 feet long.

as well as some of those are very territorial and might fight to the death in a small tank.

Not trying to bash you OP, but next time research on the fishes before buying them. My guess is you just went into the store and got every fish that catch your eyes.

Not to knitpick, as I agree with you, but florida gars in captivity don't get past the two foot mark. 20" is about the norm - but still too big for a standard 125.
