Amount of fauna

How many fishes can one have in a 2ft tank?
i see some of the forumers having 20-30 fishes/shrimps in one.... is that healthy to them?

Depends on the size of your fish and what kind of tank you have.

CO2 enriched planted tanks have more ability to hold higher bioloads if the plants are doing well. Personally, I would prefer a low fish load tank as there is less chance of issues if plant growth goes sour for some reason. Folks tend to grumble when they have dying fish or shrimps and blame it on this and that.

I tend to agree if it's for planted tank, the bioload shouldn't be too high. It's best not to overload it or under load it but it's better if it's just nice but on the low side.

I remember reading somewhere!
Jus as a guide!
1L of water = 1 cm of fish!
Which really is very little!
