Imho i dont think so but i like to overstock my tank just so its something nicer to look at and see the tank so active

my tank is this
120 gallon:
2 silver arowanas (when the 75 gallon is cycled it will go in there)
4 clown loaches
clown kinfe
2 brchirs
4 bala sharks
baby oscar
lima catfish
2 royal plecos

75gal:
silver arowana ( when the tnak is cycled of course)
archer fish
Normal pleco
ill probably put the oscar in the 10 gallon i have untill he is bigger


Holy cow!!! ok I feel much better now. lol
 
Lmao i only have 15 fish in the 120gallon and in the 75gallon i will have like 7

but remember these are all fish 1-6" they are all babys and will be going into a pond when bigger
 
ahhh, didn't see your pond info in your sig. Hopefully I will be ok. It all depends on the GT's temperment when he gets bigger.
 
no doubt the only fish who will outgrow my tank are the arowanas.. but still... when they outgrow it ill be getting something else thats cool
 
I'm still somewhat concerned about this stocking. Any more thoughts on it?
 
What's your filtration?

I think your stocking levels are fine for a 120. I would be more concerned with the filtration. I'm not sure which model the 1500 is but I have two cascade canisters running at the moment. In my opinion they are below average filters. I bought both of mine for 75% off because a local fish store was going out of business. I would definately add another filter to your set up even if its a overhang filter. Do you have any bio media inside the Canister or are you just running it with the white filter type pads it comes with. If you don't have any already I would consider adding some type of media for a more abundant amount of beneficial bacteria to grow on. Just to give you an idea on my 125 gallon I have a Cascade filter. (the biggest model they have) Supposedly good for 200 gallon tanks. A wet dry filter that has a few gallons of bio balls and ten pounds or so of lava rock and an emperor 400 overhang filter. The only fish in the tank are six red hook silver dollars and a 10" Cobra pike. Your stocking level seems fine for the size tank just step up the filtration a bit.
