Overcrowding Fish

What's the most overcrowded condition you've ever seen fish kept in?


It was Tuesday, so new fish stock were arriving. Here's what else I saw: (each species was crammed into a bag big enough to fit 4 small apples)

~ 50 zebra danios /bag
~150 feeder goldfish /bag
~5 medium sized KOI GOLDFISH /bag
~50 neon tetras / bag
~25 female guppies / bag


All the fish were pale and devoid of color because the trip was probably terribly long for them and they were kept in sealed bags with COLD WATER and little air. Some were already dead in the bag (no surprising there!) I'm surprised any of the fish were still alive! They were so crowded in that tiny little bag that all they could do was "wiggle around".
