Who has the most amount of fish compared to the size of the tank?

What about this tank? 2000 gallons, 300 fish. Including THREE queen angels, TWO 18"+ french angels, TWO 12"+ sohal tangs, and easily half a dozen powder blue tangs. Its the display tank of a popular fishfood manufacturer and Ive always thought it was horrible.

Ashamed to admit it but at the beginning of the year in my 36g i had:
1 Hippo tang
1 convict blenny
1 Midas blenny
1 Clownfish
1 Small catfish
1 pygmy angel
1 diamond goby
1 hawkfish
There was no possible way to keep my nitrates below 80-100 with all of them no matter how many water changes i did. A skimmer didnt really help either so I got rid of all but the 1st four. The hippo will go into my 180 which will hopefully be up after New Year. I'd like to get the convict into the 180 also but noway without tearing the entire tank apart to get him.
Bangguy, can you post some more pics of your breeding tanks? I remember you posting some other amazing breeding tank pics earlier this year
p.s.- Jon, that is ALOT of tangs!!!!! :scared: What state is that store in?

Ya, haha, do the math, 2000g/300fish= 1 fish per 6.7g!!!! And some of those fish could easily be 20"! I have never seen it in person, only on the store webpage, I assume its up here in Canada.

It seems that in Hong Kong, the fish stores are extra stocked.


and the tanks that people keep are a little more crowded.


I just wish the fish stores here had these prices and selection.
Just passing these pic's alone, I have no connection....

@ Bang Guy, what happens if you separate the ones that maintain that color, will some of those then change? I'm asking because they may just be remaining immature like they would in nature where only 1 male and 1 female in a group will mature.
@Jon321, I misspoke, they would only be a variation like picasso clowns, and not actually a species.

These fish are sold faster than I can grow them. The feedback I get is that about 1/2 end up looking like the male and the other half end up looking like the female.
