This has been covered many times, but here it is again -

There are 3 reasons for the 7 fish limit.

1. Realism. A real tank of this size could not support any more fish. Even 7 is actually too many.

2. Visual. More than 7 simply looks overcrowded.

3. Technical. The collision-avoidance routines have a very hard time keeping more than 6 fish from passing through each other. Even 7 is really pushing it.
