oh dear

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 875%.
Recommended water change schedule: 12% per week.
Your aquarium stocking level is 55%

2 pearl gouramis in a 20 gallon with an aquaclear 500 hanging on the back is apparently plenty of filtration.. ah well, it was in the closet when i was setting up the home for the pearls.

AC500 on a 20g tank? That is one serious overfiltration!

I should look into Koi....

would be interesting to see what kind of impact they'd have. They do have a large bioload per inch of fish compared with other species. (well catfish excluded)

Most large species will have that trait.

The real question is, whether they command higher bioload given their weight.

ive got it turned right down.. the water flow isnt too bad, and it was either that or buy a filter for a 20 thats only gonna be running for 6 months or so.
