    I guess with a much higher tank bio-load, there will naturally be alot more feeding and alot more waste... so you'll definitely need to have very good filtration, clean the filter more often,be more diligent in removing all uneaten food and loose plant leaves, and do more frequent water changes, hopefully that will help to reduce the chances of ammonia and nitrates accumulating too high. Also monitor the oxygen level in the tank, as a high bio-load requires alot more oxygen too.
    Noted , I know never expect my customer to pack so many for me. Now just have to be more hardworking but really a nice scenery to see them swim around in group and schooling around.

    Yeah, i know the feeling of stocking too many fishes too... i used to buy fishes in bulk bags (ie. 50-100 pcs) as the prices work out so much cheaper then buying them individually.

    Ended up good excuse to start more and more tanks to re-distribute the excess livestock, which greatly contributed to my "multiple tank syndrome"! Haha.
