My friends' overstocking

Before I tell everyone how much he has and what all of his equipment is, how many fish do you all think could fit comfortably in a 20 gallon?
He has his way overstocked!

That kinda depends on size...a 20 would only be able to house nano fish...I'd say 4.

Blizoman you probably had a good filter! Or filtration.
None of them are fry. He has no live rock, no protein slimmer and all he has for a filter is about .5-1 inch sandbed and a HOB filter, not a big one rated for 30 or 40 gallons I think.

My bad I should have read closer before I posted. I thought tho was a freshwater thread. But my dad had I'd say 6 fish in his 29g saltwater, not counting his shrimp, snails, and crabs. Plus all his corals.

Holy crap. Go to his house at night and steal it and get rid of everything. Horseshoe crabs get as big as that tank. Literally.
