how many fish do you have

I want to know what your tank size is and how many fish you got. I am trying to get an idea if my bioload is alot or just okay.

I have been looking through threads and notice alot of people don't list there livestock, so I am trying to pull you guys in and see what you got.

 

i have in my 40, just a clown fish, and a lawnmower blenny.
In my 125, i have 4 chromises, a garibaldi damsel, yellow tang, and a lawnmower blenny.

 

Wow only 2 fish in a 40g, can I ask how come so little, is this a coral tank? I know alot of people want tanks without fish, that's why I ask.

 

Yup, its a coral tank. I have to deal with less water related issues like that. I know i can still put more fish, just dont whant to. Once i had a sixline wrasse, maroon banded goby, clown fish, 2 chromises in the 40, but i can deal with the tank with much more ease with less fish!!

 

In the 180, we have 8 fish. The biggest is a 4" foxface and the smallest is a 1" yellow tail damsel.

 

In my 15 gallon I have a pair of clowns, and a lawn mower bleenie. And in my 100 I have a pair of cinnamon clowns, 3 chromis, 1 neon dottyback, and 2 azure damsels. Sounds like alot, but they are small but the clowns. I dont remember the rule of thumb, but something like 2iches of fish per 5-10 gallons, depending of size. But tangs, large angels ect all need alot more swimming room, so plan on a long tank for them. Hope this helps,

I have alot of fish and most other people would say im over or very close my limit, but i only have a few corals here and there, and a few snails running wild, so i only really have pressure from the fish. My fish are also all fairly small with my biggest fish being my trigger which is only 5 inches. They all have plenty of room to swim and sometimes they even all dissappear from sight!! lol

It really depends on the sizes of your fish and the length of the tank, as some fish do better with a longer tank eg Tangs and Angelfish. Put it this way, you could have 20 Chromis in a tank and be at your limit, or you could have a trigger, a couple of tangs and a wrasse making it 4 fish and be at your limit.

Cheers,
