Default Fish stocking limit...

This is question that comes up over and over again...

re: How many fish can you have?

and many, many others....

Here is one of the better articles I have read on topic:

FISH STOCKING LIMIT for FO and FOWLR MARINE SYSTEMS
By Lee Birch

"...This is a hotly debated topic. There are many opinions. Keep in mind they are just that: opinions. When the reader comes across an opinion and, before it is applied, the reader should ask the person how they arrived at this opinion. My opinion comes from science, knowledge of the fish BOTH in the wild and in captivity AND having kept several (not just one) of the particular fish over the last 40 years...."

(From Reef Frontiers, Articles Organized by Author (Curt Swearing aka "Inwall75"))


_________

AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)
12 Gallon NanoCube - 24w stock PC 50/50 light

I've had a yellow tailed damsel and a domino damsel in my 5.5 gal at one time.. The domino damsel disappeared so I just kept the tank with one fish....
