...Really? :a40:

I don't know what could be clearer than 10+ people confirming that: YES. "18 fish in a 55 gal mix reef tank", is too many. Lol..

TROLL. It's people like this that don't belong in the hobby. Begging for someone to agree with him, yet nobody will.

Listen man, you still don't get it. It's not about whether some zoas have grown, they'll multiply in practically sewer water. Not to mention like stated above, it's cruel! You might be able to get away with some things for a limited amount of time, but that's not the point. You shouldn't take fishes lives to try and prove a point, especially one you're inherently wrong about.

although i might not agree with the amount of fish you keep in your tank. its the one thing i like about the hobby, being able to get away with things people say you cant, like keeping a rare fish or being able to keep multiple fish that shouldnt get along, and if everything is fine in your tank keep it up, just make sure to get rid of the fish when they get too big

Lmao quit buying fish and set up a sump. This thread is a joke.




And I can't believe someone's encouraging his behavior. It's not "getting away with something", it's being cruel do to space. I could get away with locking 7 children in my closet, but that doesn't mean it's okay/cool/justifiable

wetdreads maybe you didn't see my tank pictures but I have all types of corals SPS, LPS, and zoas so it's not only zoa and me taking a chance because I was held hostage from a damsel in my tank for over 4 mons. that I'd try to catch and remove but couldn't so I finally made as spear and killed him....yes I KILLED him with a spear....so SAD huh....anyways I wanted to get these fish to see how they will do but after putting it in my tank and saw how they reacted with others thought I might have had too much and wanted people's opinion so it's not like I'm going to add anymore since I saw what has happened....so everyone calm the hell down and go hug your fish......

Thats funny....I once had to go fishing to get a panther grouper out of my tank....threw in a line and hook.....worked like a charm but he lived and was fine
