Thanks for the responses everyone, sorry about the horrible pictures.
Dan, hows your tank doing? Did you make any room yet? Still thinking about the flame trio?
Michael, surprising, the beauty is the biggest pig! Eats everything I put in the tank. The french eats pellets and is starting on frozen foods. The queen sometimes eats pellets, but mostly picks at the rocks and explores. The fish have lots of room to do so, they just discovered the other half of the tank a couple days ago!
Heath, I can't wait for your tank to get stocked as well! It is almost identical to mine. Just take it slow though, I know how tempting it is to rush! I feel like I may have rushed things.
woods, is it the 6ft long 150g? That would be a nice upgrade since the fish need the length more then the width. I know that tank is way over crowded, but your tank will get there once the fish grow up! I hope you have another upgrade coming in the near future. Your fish do look healthy, I just don't like seeing them crammed in small tanks, I feel they aren't happy that way.

DPS: I cant wait either. All of my Current fish will be transfered into the new tank first and then slowly add fish after that. I am just having a hard time removing that DAS box thing as it is syliconed completely on the back bottom and one side so I cant just use a razor blade arround the edges and then remove it. I have to break it apart little piece by little piece but should be done today. I am also going to re sylicone the corner seems to be on the safe side. Just need to pic up some black sylicone for that.

I hate you. But I hate your friend 10x more. I wish there was some sort of Child protection service for fish that are being abused.

Everyone should just chill out and and 'get over it' ...People on this site are so disrespectful and harsh sometimes. :furious:
ice cream jones - who cares if you 'hate' AWoodCT & 'hate' his friend 10x more..no one cares about you either! :blown:
IMO - When it boils down to it people are always going to do what they want to do. You worry about your tank, and let everyone else worry about their's.
Im not condoning his :fish1: 'bio load' but let him do what he wants to do. Everyone bashing him isnt going to stop him from going to the LFS when his new tank's up and running and buying more fish.
GET OVER YOURSELVES AND GET A LIFE! Arguing with people across the country and world for that matter about fish load ina tank is childish and just a plain old waste of time...

Most of the comments were respectful, Jadams, there was no case of "everyone bashing"...
Since this is a site where people come for knowledge and information, it's both appropriate and responsible to comment on severely overstocked tanks.
You are right, people are going to do what they want, and they should. I don't know of anyone ever getting banned for overstocking their tank or keeping incompatible species or feeding goldfish. But not commenting on tanks that are headed for a problem down the road gives the impression that the tanks are being properly maintained. Sorry, these are not properly stocked and they will run into problems.
I'm not one of the tang police, and I do push the limit, some, with my tanks. But I have extra tanks if I run into problems and I am one of the few people who really does upgrade tanks for my fish. Most people that say they are going to do it, don't.

Jadams, your comments seem to be the childish ones. This site is based on peoples opinions, info and helping each other out. Some people (awoodct and his friend for instance) don't know what is right and wrong in the hobby and overstock their tanks. We are trying to help them, but saying how horrible it is for the fish and its going to cause problems. You are right though, people are going to do what they want, whether it is right or wrong. I do have a problem with people giving advice though when they have 18 fish in a 75g or 25+ in a 155g, its bad practice and bad for the hobby, we don't need more people in the hobby buying fish, overstocking their tanks and causing problems. Maybe I am wrong, but I do not agree with what some people are doing and it is wrong to have other people get the idea that "well this guy did it, why can't I" mentality.
