When a tank has too many fish what are the consequences? One of our members had a tank photo here a few months ago that looked like it had hundreds of fish in it, and it was doing very well. Some species just aren't good neighbors with too many fish in the tank. Others don't seem to be distressed by the density of fish. It is clearly obvious that it is a complicated subject. Ideally we could monitor the oxygen or nitrates, or something else and judge the fish density by that.
