is 6 fans enough for a fishtank case?

I'm going to get a Corsair 2500x case which supports 9 fans, but i've seen a lot of people saying that 9 is way more than necessary, and that the airflow could be affected. So I wanted to know what is a good amount of fans that looks pretty and is efficient at the same time, and where to put it reversed. I was thinking about getting 6 fans, would it be possible to have a neutral/positive air pressure in this case? It's going to be my first pc build, so I want it to work nicely.

That case is designed for a radiator cooling setup FYI, it will be less efficient if you are using an air cooler. It’s less about the number of fans you have and more about making sure your fans are arranged in the correct way.

I'm thinking of using a 360mm radiator and 3 more fans then

That should be fine. Check out some builds in this case on YouTube, you can definitely find some and get ideas for good airflow.

I think you have enough even with 3-4 fans. More are mostly for aeshthetic or overclocking purposes I guess, but it's not great for overclocking either

6 is plenty, you'll be good.
