Welcome to Fishforum.com.:wave:

I wouldn't recommend getting a catfish anymore. Your tank is overstocked already, not to mention all your fish are still on growing phase.

yeah you already have more than enough fish in that tank.

to keep the amount of fish already in the tank an absolute minal is a 125 gallon. now thats with bio-load and everyone haveing their adequate space. ntm adult red devils will fight anyone and anything in under 100 gallons. either one oscar or 1 red devil is what id keep out of that stock list.

I can guess 500. He currently has about 400 running with extra spare tanks and then these 75 tanks.

All wrong, guys. I currently have 417 tanks running. That includes the 15 "show" tanks. So, that means I have 402 downstairs in the fishroom, not including the 8 reservoir tanks. I am setting up more tanks, up to 75 additional. May not set that many up, though. If all 75additional tanks are set up, I will have 492 tanks set up and running. But you must also take into account, that I am currently breeding and selling over 60 species of fish, not including color morphs. And now plants, too(42 tanks).

Now, let's get back on topic and quit hijacking this thread.
