Ok, This Might Be A Stupis Question But...

Is it possible to understock your tank? If it is, is it bad for the fish? I was thinking about this the other day, and it got me kind of worried...

Oops, i mispelled the title. I meant "Stupid"

Not possible. Lots of people start large tanks with a single fish that will grow to suite the tank. Bacteria grows as the fish grows.

Ok, thanks.

Agree, not possible in the sense of water chem etc. being bad, but perhaps a possible problem if the few fish in a tank were shoaling fish and not stocked in at least the minimal number needed to put them at ease.

Or with mbuna understocking a tank can lead to a lot of aggression as they are overstocked to avoid fights.
