with that much stock, you should be aggressive on your water changes and siphon at least once a week to get feces out

:iagree: it wont be long before that FH starts leaving some big ol' honkin logs laying around the tank.

Err, what?? Two fish in a 65g is considered stocked?
Anyway, I appreciate the advice & will be siphoning the waste as well for every water change.. :)

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the adult size of the fish. And an adult FH along with an adult Parrot in a 65 g is over stocked. My FH is 14 mo old, still growing like crazy and 13" long and 6" tall and thick like a tank. My Blood Parrots are the size of softballs.
