How many fish?

thezookeeper · 07-03-2001, 10:34 PM

Hi all. As you know, I have finished setting up my 75 gallon reef. I have 2 ocellaris clownfish. And a cleaner shrimp. How many fish can an aquarium this size safely contain? I'm not talking mammoth size fish either. Just an approximation would be helpful. Thank you!

It kind a matters also what kind of fish are you getting? Ones that stay at the bottom, those that stay at the top. I think you could get 4 more, but I also usually overstock my tanks, so who knows

Hello dear

I would agree w/Mike and Organic on their conservative figures

Thanks guys! I figured about that. I don't want to over do it. Just needed some sort of idea to guage. Thinkin' ahead, planning, visions of sugar plums, yadda yadda yadda.
