Hey everyone

Hey everyone, I’m new to the #tanklife. My wife and I just bought a 90 gallon tank. It came with a lot of live corals and everything. So far we seem to be figuring everything out. We have a local aquarium shop that is also very helpful, but I was just wondering how many fish is to many for our 90 gallon tank ?

Thanks in advance everyone.

Take the fish volume real slow, John

Watching your phosphates and nitrates as you go.
You need to study up on species and their requirements too.

Welcome to R2R!!! You might want to take time reading up on how to set up a QT tank and how to QT your fish. This will save you heart ache and money in the long run. Take it slow.

Welcome to R2R!

No set rule on fish number. Really depends on the behaviors and needs of specific fish. Think about what fish you may want. Read up on them. Then a thread like this can help you pick what will work and what will not:

Welcome to the forum! As others have said it take a huge amount of planning and research to get the right mix of fish for your tank.. take your time and know exactly what your getting into with each species, the care they require and compatibility with other fish your considering.
