I think i went a little ott with my buying, i ended up with a new Severum today

my tank is 4ft 75g

my stock is

1 x Red Spotted Severum @ 6.5"
1 x Gold Severum @ 2"
2 x black Marble Angels @ 4"
10 x Black Ruby Barbs
5 x Rosy Barbs
10 x Bronze Corydoras
2 x Bristlenose Plecs
5 x Platys

How badly overstocked am i and can i keep it long term?
 
What are your water parameters like? Any amonnia or nitrites? What are you nitrate levels before and after water changes? I would say your overstocked though I would not add any more fish either.
 
I do 40% weekly waterchanges

40%? Try 50% 2x per week with that many fish!

Imo u need a 150+ esp when they grow

And lol @chris . a nurse sharks only 60" I think a 60gal is perfect!

Lol I would think the volume of the fish would exceed 60g

Two severums and two angelfish need a 150g tank? The rest of stock is trivial.
