Here on MFK there really is no such thing as overstocked as long as your filter(s) can keep up with the bio load and you do the necessary water changes :D

fine for now, but those pangasius catfish will grow ;) If you remove them, the tank should be fine. If you dont, you will end up with just 2 big fish in too small of a tank, as they can get 24"+ very easily, and consume all of your fish, cept maybe the balas and pleco, and possibly the gouramis. But say bye to your tetras for sure :)
