Is my tank overstocked

[rucus]

I know it gets asked all the time, but I would like to know what you all think.

I have a 125gallon with 30 gallon sump w/scrubbies and 700gph return.
Also have a hang on back filter

Stock:
1 6" jack dempsey
2 GT's 4"
2 clown loaches 2"
1 14" common pleco
1 3" flowerhorn
1 2" synadontis
1 5" pictus cat
6 Giant danios


Let me know what you think

Nope.

If the clowns get 16" (biggest I've heard of is 13-- after about a decade) and every other fish gets as large as it possibly could get (which could take 5 years or more)... you're still probably fine. Right now, you'd be pushing overstocking in a 55, but you're not anywhere close in this tank, especially with the sump.

good to hear. Anyone else want to comment or make any suggestions? Anything you think I should/could add?

Question is do YOU want to add anything in particular? Also pic's of this tank would be most welcome.

well what kind of fish would you like more of? a bottom dweller, mid level swimmer or something swimming at the surface. I concur with ProblEmZ

I agree that you are not overstocked at the moment. Flowerhorns are one of the more aggressive cichlids, so you may see problems when it gets bigger. GT's like to eat small fish, as do Flowerhorns, so your Danios may dissapear.

Nope your not overstock as i think you can add a couple more fish if u wanted to.

I agree with Angler.
If you are overstocked, the Flowerhorn will take care of it.
I have had to relocate several fish due to an aggressive Trimac female.

The danios are just dithers right now and they are very quick so I think they will be ok for quite some time. I wouldn't mind getting a bichir but I don't know they would work with this tank. What is something that would be a interesting add. I am open to about anything.
