Am I overstocked

Heres the tank it's a 75G

Ok it's not my tank. I was curious in light of the recent thread regarding the hostility in this forum what would happen if a forum member who wasn't a newbie posted a question with an obvious answer.


For those who are interested the picture came from an e-bay auction where the person was selling this tank and it's inhabitants.

ummm....the dimensions of the tank would be useful because the tank is larger, as well as the fish who are in there. Just looking at the picture, it does looked a little cramped in there but that is my opinion. Also, what do your water stats look like, and how long has the tank been set up?

Standard 75 48x18x20

I'd say it's over stocked

 

[Sky042]

Aside from the fish you can see there is a blue gouramis in there somewhere.

It's over stocked...

IMHO
just having the arrowana alone is overstocked

Aros (of any breed) need a minimum of 150+ gallons (180 US IIRC) and that is for the much smaller breeds.

That tank is massively overstocked. Is it yours?

OOOOOH

Double post...

My bad.

On another note, don't you need a lot of room before keeping two Oscars? like 100+ gals?

Now how much better is this than with our young friend? Besides the fact you fessed up to it.

I think whoever owns that tank needs a serious kick in the backside Or maybe we should send someone round their house to shout at them for a bit Moohahahahahaha..... Yup, its very, very overstocked. I think you need about 75g for one oscar and a plec or something, but with that many massive fish... yup, kicking it is. LOL, joke, joke

Now which young friend is that?

FWIW when I saw that tank on E-bay I nearly died.
