Is my tank overstocked?

[Jakob]

I have a 125g tank with filteration of 620g per hour. This is my stocklist:

1x Polypterus Bichir Lapradei 12"
1x Polypterus Palmas Polli 12"
1x Polypterus Senegalus 8"
1x Amphilophus Alfari 8"
1x Pimelodus Pictus 6"
1x Rusty Panaque 5"
2x Ancistrus (pair) 3"

I would really like to add some Silver Dollars, 5 maybe?
Is my tank overstocked and would it be ok to add the SD's?

I think you have alot of bottome dweller. Is this in a 6 foot tank?

I think you could get away with some SD. I would consider selling one Bichir to free up some space for the other bottom dwellers.

Poly's can produce lot's of waste. Might want to add a little more filtration before adding anything else. What kind of filter are you using now?

Rena XP3 And Juwel 1000.
The Polypterus take little as no space and i am not getting rid of any of them, but i may sell the pictus and remove the ancistus pair..

I would dump bichir too and then get the sd's

No, that would be stupid, bichirs are the most awesome fish you can keep in this hobby.

Get something with some more color. Your tank sounds kind of drab maybe a couple geos?
