    Not really.


    You really do like to overstock your tanks.

    as long as there is no fighting and the water is good then a tank is not over stocked.

    I had 100+ 1'' clowns in a 29g bio cube with a 4'' sand bed and no rock for over a year. Man i made a lot of money from those. I sold them at 10$ each and thats 3x cheaper then what they sell for hear and i was getting calls everyday and people always got 2 of them.

    I feed them cyclops and brine shrimp everday to keep them really colorful and mysis and algae fake ever 3days to keep them heathy.How ever i was doing 5g water changes ever day tho.

    I still have my mating clowns how ever when ever they lay eggs my bule tang eats them. Before i had them alone.

    So the fish being trapped in a tiny volume of water, totally scared and claustrophobic, in a constant panic mode, isn't a factor for you?

    My fish are not scared or claustrophobic they are all out swimming around and and they all eat normal. The only fish that is wired is the chalk basslet he hide in his hole in a rock 90% of the time

    dude a 2g tank just isnt for damsel or any fish really...
    a goby is pushing it, just because your water quality is good because you do this and that to it doenst mean that the tank isnt overstocked.

    fish need enough space to swim around, just because you see it swimming and eating doesnt mean its comfortable to them. Its like me putting you in a small Room and just clean your air and throw you food. ( a jail if you will)..
