Scrapes appear overnight. If this is a progression of a scrape getting larger then it's lateral line erosion.

What are the numbers for nitrate?

Do you have soft or hard water (GH reading)?

water gh at the moment cant check...Always been perfect for cichlids..

I would say yes the tank is overstocked. And if many of the fish are young still it will only get worse
