Yes I think I over did it in my Tang tank. I love the look of it ut I have quite a few fish in there. It is a 55 gallon with an AC70 and a Fluval 306. Stock is as listed:
5 Cyps 5 Brevis 1 tetracanthus 3 Callichromis 3 Caudfin? i think 2 Teledochromis Brichardi 2 brichardi daffodils 2 Nkambae 1 WC gold Comp 1 Black Calvus 1 Red Comp 1 Yellow Comp 2 Synodontis Multi 1 BN Pleco
Thats 30 fish in a 55 gallon tank. They all get along and water is fine, but did I over do it?

I always do it via youtube. That way it will embed it and you can watch it without opening a new window

That is a lot of fish in 55 gallons of H20. Better keep up on the H20 changes. But overstocked like that is suppose to keep down on the fighting for territories.

make sure you link from the youtube page that lets you do comments. not your youtube channel page. use the reply on this board then click the youtube button. paste your youtube link between the brackets and hit preview. give it a second and you should see the youtube video embedded at this point

Like Rick said, maybe a few more water changes, but that is what makes a tank look good. The more fish you have in the tank the better it looks, for a show tank.....

LOL you saw my 55 gal peacock tank! your fine.. lol not rally that overstocked imo. but i like my tanks stocked heavy
also you are way over filtering and doing huge water changes! your good. this is part of the reason i like cichlids, because they dont mind being over stocked (witch your not) If they do mind it they will push fish out as they grow, and i bet by the time they grow you will have another tank! lol..
