Thank you. You're right. People would have the tendency to raise too many fishes in the tank.
Within an environment the living things will struggle to survive and through natural selection, the stronger will stay until a biological equilibrium is reached. I have once bred over a hundred 王如意. Each of them was so tiny just like a eye lash. It was so amazing. As they were growing up, the number of the baby fishes were decreasing every day. They just died no matter what. Some weaker babies were attacked by the stronger ones. It is just an instinct. Eventually, I had only 3 left. It is understandable. If a pair of fishes can give birth to over a hundred of eggs and all of the hatched babies can become adult fishes, this world will be crowded with fishes. But I believe I can do better next time - say by sorting out the fishes in different tanks and changing the water appropriately.
With an experience of having over a hundred baby fishes, that was why I thought it was fine to have about 30 small fishes in the same tank.
Anyway, for topical fishes I have a lot to learn. I find they are more delicate and required more attention. May this is the fun part of this hobby.
Happy Fish Raising !
