Is my tank overstock

[Fish100]

Sounds like a amateur question but I have wondered lately if my tank is over stocked due to seeing all the fish fully grown. Plz let me no what you think.

70 gallon tank

2 blood parrots
1 jack Dempsey
6 tiger barbs
1 common Pleco
1 striped Raphael catfish

What are the deminsions? Blood parrots are hit or miss. Seen calm ones and I've seen crazy ones. I've also seen ones there are huge.

2 blood parrots and Raphael catfish hmmm

Well if you use aqadvisor as a starting point, it does say you are at 162% stocking level for adult fish.

Warning: Your selected species may eventually require 315% of your aquarium space. You may need to deal with territorial aggressions later on. Try removing some of (Blood Parrot, Rocio octofasciatum, Platydoras costatus, Pterygoplichthys pardalis) or get a larger tank.

Yes you are, and quite a bit overstocked as well.

What are the dimensions? Do you get fighting? If no fighting, its arguable that you can maintain it with water changes

 

[Fish100]

48 inches long 18 inches wide 19 inches tall

And there is not much fighting at all occasionally there is a small dispute but not often

not crowded at all !
Last year I had 15 six inches red belly piranhas in my 55 gallons. They were doing fine.
Just observe the health of your fishes,don't listen to those words saying " wow it's a ****ing overstocked tank" lol
