I have a 90 gallon standard tank that has the following stock;

(4) angelfish
(3) electric blue acara
(2) red striped eartheater geo
(2) red head tapajos geo
(2) giant danio
(2) silver dollar
(1) BN pleco
(14) serpae tetra

None of the fish are full grown yet and everyone is getting along good. I’m running 2 Penn Plax Cascade 1000 canister filters and do 50% water change every 3-4 days. Was wondering if I am overstocked or if I could get a couple more fish. I was hoping to get at least a black veil angel and maybe a red shoulder Severum. Appreciate any input.

Unfortunately you will be over stocked once all of the fish mature personally wouldn't add more.
 
Hello, you will be a bit over stocked already, definitely wouldn't recommend adding another large fish like the severum which could get to 10-12". Your geophagus will already get quite large with time, and you have a lot of mid-sized fish as well. As they grow you will probably need to remove some to keep the peace and keep maintenance manageable.
