I'm wrong. Ironically, I think I need to stop wearing my baseball hat upside down.

Thanks Martin. Makes me wonder if I don't want to be running my tanks cooler now for better O ratio per fish.

Here is what I found searching:

Amount of air that can be dissolved in water - decrease with temperature - increase with pressure.

yeah I researched it a few weeks ago cause my tank is running at 26.8 degrees C with the heater off it's been that hot here so I stuck a wee air stone in the tank I never ussually use them

I'm amazed how many things in our hobby are more like baseball. Superstitious activities only because that activity was correlated with a successful outcome.

I've been doing this for a long time. Here is a FAQ that is worth reading:

http://www.howmanyfish.com/#page=page-4 This is good common sense.

Here is another very good link: http://www.azgardens.com/c-173-top-aquarium-secrets.aspx

THIS author is head strong on salt. This link also says the 1'' / gallon rule is bunk. For a well filtrated planted tank I would agree that the rule is bogus. What I find is most people with well planted tanks under stock so they have ZERO maintenance except for adding water. I know that sounds crazy but I have seen tanks get so stable they only need water added.

ehh tiger barbs would appreciate at least 30, they are a bit aggressive to. neons work fine, so do other small tetras like glowlights. try dwarf species/nano fish. like "mosquito rasboras", killiefish, and shrimp.
