Default Overstock or not

The question is do you think you overstock your tank or not?

I did a head count today and found I have 14 fish in my 95 gallon granted all are 4" and under and are co-habiting peacefully with no territorial disputes but I am pushing the envelope for livestock I feel

My tank is definitely pushing the envelope... I've had some territory disputes which ended up with me having to put up a barrier. Already planning to get a much bigger tank once I finish moving.

I always try to stay under stocked. I also use more rock than most, so my fishes have good homes.

I try to keep things understocked for easier maintenance. That being said, I want more fish and coral sooooo there is an upgrade in the future. I will be purchasing things slowly as they come on sale No rush at all since none of it can happen until the living room gets reno'd
