um, well as much as people are trying to help, you are just wanting to hear that your tank is prefectly fine, but you can tell yourself as much as you want that your tank is fine, but it really isn't because you have it overstocked and there is no way to make the stocking list fine just by thinking it is.

Even if the koi is some weird type that only gets 5", i'd say a 30-40 gallon tank would be the minimum for it alone.

the carp, well most carp shouldn't be kept in anything but the largest of ponds.

some of the lengths of the fish you mentioned sounds like they are already stunted, and you NEED to either get rid of some or get a large tank quickly.


think of it this way, how'd you like to live in an 8'x8' room with 21 other people, and two of those people being very large. it would be increadibly unconfortable, chances are conditions would be horrible and you'd get mad at a lot of the other people in the room. this is how your fish tank is working.

I would like to thank Oldtimer for being the only person to answer my question on this thread.

As for the rest of you, I find your antics and name calling (Fish abuser?) very amusing, but I tire of it now.

This thread is dead and lost to thread jackers...

When failure has occured after the begining of a series of attempts, make further attempts.

You'll notice that Oldtimer agreed completely with the rest of us that you're seriously overcrowding your tank...

If you don't want to believe what literally everyone else who keeps fish has discovered from bitter experience to be true, fine, but don't insult the rest of us for trying to pull you out of Never-Never Land.
