This Is England's Largest Home Aquarium

[@Laurent-o2t]

Certainly it is a very large tank. But the fish are really big too! And there are too many of them. So at the end, we have a very overcrowded aquarium which offers very little space for its occupants... It's like putting 10 big goldfish in a 70 liter aquarium...

Not much room for the bigger fish, he should have smaller fish. I agree make it interesting for the fish, way overcrowded.

@@Batmancontingencyplans the thing about the fish he has in his tank are they are all monster fish, and go from a range fron 10-50 dollars when young, so they could probably sell for a good price as an adult.

Monster fish are cool, but a tank like this would be amazing if it was aquascaped and stocked with smaller fish. Imagine if this housed huge swarms of smaller fish that could show their beautiful colours and natural behaviours instead of just a few huge fish that are forced to swim endless circles. I‘d much rather see a few hundred neons than a single pacu or red tail catfish.

[@RepairBeyond]

Seeing a lot of "it's overstocked" comments. Whether it technically is depends on the species of fish (growth, social behavior, etc.) and whether there's adequate filtration. I don't want to pretend I'm familiar with these fish species but then again I wouldn't think of claiming it's overstocked with my knowledge level.

[@zakosist]

You got a point, but I get a feeling if those fish every wanted to swim faster they would crash into the walls. And if there is conflict there is not much space to get away. Not very much room to move for them. But maybe they are a type of fish that dont really need it to thrive and are generally calm. To me it looks overcrowded, but we dont know if it is from the fishes perspective

[@RepairBeyond]

​@@zakosist I do agree there seems to be a lack of hiding spots which would turn ugly in case of conflict. A study I glanced over years back about the well being of Zebra fish in the context of crowding (in storage for animal experiments) suggested they actually are fine with being very crowded compared to some hobbyist perceptions. Whilst the study was empirical, the rationale is that they are schooling fish and actually feel safer in numbers. In addition, the impact of aggressive behaviors may diminish if a victimized fish can hide behind other fish from the aggressor. If there are just a few fish, chances are an aggressor is going to be picking on the same victim all the time.

[@garg4531]

@@RepairBeyondYep, one of the reasons having large groups is important is it helps them to feel more secure and also spreads out any aggression, though of course you’ll still need to provide enough space and filtration to accommodate a large group so as to avoid other problems

It’s 12ft by 12ft by 7ft and he had three 2ft Pacus so it was overstocked & crowded, regardless of the experts in the comments. He was clearly told to size down his fish. Hence what he keeps in there now. Completely irresponsible.

[@drifter3598-g5z]

Many people here say it's harsh for the fish but most of monster fish keepers keep their fish like this. Actually this tank is quite larger compared to the most of monster tanks I've seen. We need to be careful when adopting moster fish because not many of us can give them a good environment.
