fish oil = more the better.. to a degree. if you can afford to, taking up to 20-25 grams a day is only going to benefit you, more fat loss, and more muscle retention.
you're wrong, again. not sure why you're still allowed to post on this forum but I'll point something out for you

n-3 Fatty acids have important visual, mental, and cardiovascular health benefits throughout the life cycle. Biodistribution, interconversion, and dose response data are reviewed herein to provide a basis for more rational n-3 dose selections. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is the principal n-3 fatty acid in tissues and is particularly abundant in neural and retinal tissue. Limited storage of the n-3 fatty acids in adipose tissue suggests that a continued dietary supply is needed. A large proportion of dietary alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is oxidized, and because of limited interconversion of n-3 fatty acids in humans, ALA supplementation does not result in appreciable accumulation of long-chain n-3 fatty acids in plasma. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) but not DHA concentrations in plasma increase in response to dietary EPA. Dietary DHA results in a dose-dependent, saturable increase in plasma DHA concentrations and modest increases in EPA concentrations. Plasma DHA concentrations equilibrate in approximately 1 mo and then remain at steady state throughout supplementation. DHA doses of approximately 2 g/d result in a near maximal plasma response. Both dietary DHA and EPA reduce plasma arachidonic acid concentrations. Tissue contents of DHA and EPA also increase in response to supplementation with these fatty acids. Human milk contents of DHA are dependent on diet, and infant DHA concentrations are determined by their dietary intake of this fatty acid. We conclude that the most predictable way to increase a specific long-chain n-3 fatty acid in plasma, tissues, or human milk is to supplement with the fatty acid of interest.
Studies with fish oils containing both DHA and EPA have
consistently shown increases in both DHA and EPA in plasma
(25, 63, 74–77). Blonk et al (74) performed a dose-response
analysis of supplementation with marine lipids containing a 2:3
ratio of DHA and EPA at doses up to 6 g total long-chain n3
fatty acids per day. The results of this study, depicted graphically
in Figure 5, suggest a near linear increase in plasma EPA concentrations
and an apparent saturable increase in DHA concentrations
after supplementation with the combination of fatty acids.
The apparent DHA saturation dose was 1.2 g/d, which is
considerably lower than when pure DHA is provided and which
suggests a possible displacement with EPA in plasma phospholipids Notice the bolded section.
