I have a 65 galon FOWLR tank and i was just wondering how many fish can I put in my tank? Also does crabs,snails and shrimp count to the bio load of my tank?

on the question of snails, shrimp, and crabs:

They do count towards the bioload of the tank. They still breath, which removes oxygen from the water, and they still excrete wastes which must be decomposed by the various filters in the tank.

anyway..
