I'm new here registration wise but I've lurkedthis forum for years. Just a typical stock question. Wanted to get some opinions. I ran across that aqadvisor site and it says I'm at like 130% stock and about 180% filtration.

I have a 125 gallon standard 6ft tank with an fx5 and an aquaclear 110 for filtration. Should get some pics up.

For stock I have:

1 red spotted gold severum
1 small 5" jack dempsey
1 l200 green phantom pleco
1 featherfin catfish (synodontis euruptus)
6 silver dollars (5 spotted 1 plain and larger)
4 jurupari (earth eaters)
1 cuckoo catfish (synodontis multipunctatus)
1 red tailed black shark

Do you think this is overstocked or just full? Most of the fish are less than 2 years old. My numbers are fine but I keep up on good big weekly water changes. We've considered moving the smaller jack Dempsey to another tank as, lol, everything is peaceful with each other except the black shark and severum chase the Dempsey. Who would of thought the Dempsey would be the one picked on in this group. If anything is aggressive its the featherfin catfish, it doesn't care for the other bottom dwellers much.
 
It does not look like you are overstocked, neither for the tank size nor for the filtration size. When they grow significantly, the tank size would need to be revisited.
