I recently had family/friends over for christmas, and someone that has no idea what the words, protein skimmer, and/or calcium reactor etc. means said the comment, eww your tank looks like a "bait" tank are you supposed to have that many fish. This is coming from someone that doesn't deal with fish tanks or anything like. It got me thinking, maybe i do have to many fish, what do you think?

I have 12 in my 150, and thinking of adding afew anthias, but not sure because its a reef tank and generally less is best in a reef tank. I don't have any fish that will get real big, except a YT. I think 10 is ok in your tank, is it a FOWLR?

I don't think that you do, and I typically stock very lightly.
Only a few of your fish are active swimmers. The dragonets/blenny normally rest on the rocks or sand, plus these fish will stay small.
It just seems to me that your guest was behaving rudely.

The bolded, underscored words are key to the answer.
