Over Stocked Tank

[Z Trip]

Hi everyone, I was just wondering how over stocked you guys think my tank is at the moment.

In my 35G:
Green Terror: 2.5"
Kissing Fish: 2"
Tiger Barbs: 12 @ 1"-1.5"
Skunk Loaches: 7 @ 1.5"-2"
Bubblebee Cat: 2"
Bullhead Cat: 4"

WHOA, come to type it all out, their is alot in that tank. Every few days I due water chages, but reducing the amount of fish would help the others right?

Now all my bottom fish will be going in a 30G Long soon and the tank is only a growout for the Kisser and GT.

You're gonna keep the bullhead tiger barbs, bumblebee cat and skunk loaches in a 30 long? Your bullhead will get at least 12" long and big enough to eat all of them. The tank won't be big enough for him by himself.

Tank isn't necessarily that overstocked with the fishes current size, but it will be pretty soon.

LOL, no I meant bottom dwelling fish. Yes, both cats and the loaches will be outta their in about 1-2 weeks.(aquarium takes a long time to make I guess). My bull head doesn't seem like its growing much. I would like him to get a foot long like you say he should but I have had him since the beginning of summer and he has grown like 2.5 inches at the most. My soon to come 30G long ill turn into a Cat tank and once the loaches are at 4" they will me moved too.

No, bullheads don't grow very fast, but he WILL hit at least a foot eventually.

Mine is around 10 1/2-11 inches and it took him about a yr to get there. He was 1 1/2 inches when we caught him. For months it seemed like he barely grew and then he just got bigger.
