At one time in my 33g I had a breeding pair of Bangaii, a Hector's Goby, and a lone True Perc. It seemed fairly full to me. I despise overstocking for many reasons, but the main two are because I think it's inhumane (for many reasons in itself), and because I loathe to fight nitrate. Also, a smaller tank should be stocked lighter than a bigger one simply because the swimming space isn't there.

Inhumane? Give me a break. Your talking about a fine line here. What about this hobby is all that humane (by that thinking)?

Anyways, completely disagree that 3 would be overstocked. They are very small fish.

I agree the sixline needs to go if I do.

We have much different views on stocking I think.
