Of course I have room for 1 more fish!
The melanarus will out compete any other fish for pods. If you can control nutrients, you can add more fish.
Am I done adding fish?

That was my thought too.

I have 11 in a 40 B. No issues whatsoever. I had 13 until i realized that neon dotty backs were evil and had to rehome them.
I don't really see any issue with keeping 15+ fish in a 75 gallon tank provided on one in there is being abused.

That tank posted looks just terrible and I hope it is just a sale tank at a LFS or something that is temporary. It gives me anxiety to look at. There is a difference between a heavily stocked with fish taking up different spaces in a tank then a bunch of tangs swimming small circles in a small tank bumping noses.
I think you have room for more, its more about space than bioload. Especially since your fish are on the smaller side. I think some sand dwelling gobies like shrimp gobies or a jawfish would work nicely!

Consider adding 3 azure damsels, a purple firefish, and a pair of wheeler gobies. The damsels are very colorful and active and are as mild mannered as they get. They stick to the rocks and don’t hide. Firefish will stay out with this group front and center. The goby pair will be all over the sand bed. They will also pair up with a pistol shrimp.

Nope, that’s my DT. This short clip was taken not long after the 4 yellows were introduced. Things have mellowed out since. A couple days of chaos and it’s calm again.
Glad you like it.

I hope you’re not serious...

I am. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I like my tank to have more fish. They are all fully QT’d by me and fat and happy. I’ve even got a pair of blennies that spawn constantly in this tank. And I plan to add more. At least a couple sand sifting gobies but maybe more. Not a single fish is being beat up in there. If that changes I’ve already constructed an entire fish shed in my backyard to move fish to. (Click on my build thread badge)
People always ask if they can add more fish. If your biomedia can handle it then the answer is yes. What is the definition of over stocked? We all have a different opinion about this. What is relaxing for some is boring for another. There are no set rules for this.
I’m also 3 weeks into the Quarantine of a Moorish Idol. Eating very well and healthy.
I’m getting a Moorish Idol tomorrow
I’m getting a Moorish idol shipped to me. I’m expecting it tomorrow around 4 to 5 PM. I bought it through Aqua Locker and it is from South Pacific 2 1/2” to 3 1/2”. I’ve got a fully cycled QT ready to go at a S.G. Of 1.017 and Copper Power dosed to 1ppm (Hanna) Other meds on hand include...

Build Thread - Aggressive fake Reef 120 gallon
Hello everyone, I started on R2R yesterday and was welcomed very generously. Thank you all for making people feel welcome. I've never been into social media so this is very new to me. Anyway, I've started constructing (more like assembling) a Planet Aquarium 120 drilled tank that I ordered...

Like I said, I’ve got nothing to be ashamed of.
