okay i might give some fish to my lfs do not offend me

2x hybrid blood parrots
2x 3 spot gouarmi
5x tiger barbs
4x dwarf African aquatic frogs (pretty shore, they are like 2 inches each)
1x zebra danio
1x bozmens rainbow fish (pretty shore it is bozmen)
1xblack widow tetra
1x cherry barb

I have 50 gallons of filtration is it WAY overstocked or is it OK if i keep the fish with 50 gallons of filtration all my fish are full grown except the blood parrots 1 in 3 inch and 1 is 4 inch
 
all in a 50 gallon? seems on the high side but nothing serious since they are all pretty small.

If all that is in a 30g, then it is overstocked. I would get rid of the blood parrots and add more gouramis or rainbowfish. I would also get rid of those african clawed frogs. African clawed frogs can grow to about 6", and will be able to eat your tetra, barbs, & danio; especially if they fall asleep near the bottom of the tank.
 
If you have to ask if it is overstocked, then it is overstocked. Why not just feed some of the fish to your oscar, this would solve a couple of issues. Overstocked tank and hungry oscar no more :D
 
well my mom is really attached to the bps but i want to be a good fish keeper maybe i can put the bps in my 65 gallon tank with 1 7 inch pearsei cichlid for a year then by the time they get big i might have a other tank
