i have a friend who keeps fish. he has been overstocking his tanks for a while. he had a 23l tank with 3 angelfish, 12 livebearers and 5-6 tetras. he then moved onto a 60l tank brought from me, on the condition he would run it properly and look it after it. he now has 18 cardinal tetras, 10 platys, 6 guppys, two glass catfish and 3 angelfish. his tank is filled with plants and rocks, and there is literally no room. i cant tell him because he thinks he knows best and im wrong and he is right, and that i 'under-stock my tank' and he still has room for more fish! this comes from a guy who has wiped out all of his fish by attempting to clean his tank with baby steriliser, and has been through 7-angelfish and 30+ other fish, which have obviously now died. i am not a strong willed person and so give up to easy when i try to tell him, so i have been trying to get some of his fish off of him, but he says no he is getting more, and he has 40 fish in his tank at present. what should i do? ADVICE PLEASE
