keithgh *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003 | There are several factors that create an over load. Too many fish. Poor filtration, not enough capicity, failing to keep it in a good working order. Lack of airation for a large population Lack of live plants. Failure to change the water correctly, 25%-30% weekly. With your number of fish doing every thing correctly should not be a problem but failing to do the correct thing nothing but a big disaster. Both my tanks are possibly pushed to the limit but I follow a very strict routine to keep the tanks working 100% with out any problems caused by me. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
