What you think is it over stocked?
I am setting up an 4 x 2 x 2 tank, looking to stock with:

Geophagus tapajos sp X 4-6.
Severum x 2.
Red Rainbow fish x6.
another type of rainbow x6

Any body recomend anything else?

the geos should take care of that job, however you may want to get some either corys or loaches... some corys (even though they aren't corys) get to like 14 cm like brochis britskii....

i hate how my fish book has the sizes in cm and not inches:)

well for me at least
 
Cool i think going for Loaches, do you think i could have some type of Shrimp in there or they become dinner looking at maybe some of the larger type.

larger types would probably be better like the vampire shrimp which only filter feeds but still grows pretty big... if you go smaller shrimp they will be food for the geos..

could work..... but i wont say it will work.... i have heard that sp. red head tapajos are smaller than most other geos and if you get the bleeding hearts while the geos are babies, it should be ok as the geos grow up.

in my 125 my 4-7" geo. abalios are with a baby uaru that was about the size of a full grown bleeding heart when i got him and the geos never tried eating him....
