It depends on the amount of fish, the size of the aquarium, and the number you increase them by. Goldfish, guppies, silver sharks, and many other fish are quite happy to share a fishtank or fishbowl with others of their species and even other types of fish. Some fish, however, like Oscars or the extreme case of siamese fighting fish, need their personal space or else they may fight or kill each other. Many fish grow to different sizes depending on the amount of room they have- Goldfish, for example, can happily live at only two or three inches long, but in a suitable fishpond, they can actually grow quite large.

Research the kind of fish you have and find out how big your aquarium is before you add any large number of fish to an aquarium.

If tropical fish food goes to the bottom of the tank and sits there can the fish get contaminated?

What happens is the food rots in the tank. This rotting/decay creates gas (Ammonia) and that will poison the fish and burn its gills. This results first in sick fish and then death.
