For 100 gallon fish tank
Exact dims are not known, around 48"l x 20"w x 24"h
260 watt power compact 4-bulb
40 lbs of flourite, ~80lbs gravel mixture, 3" thick
1 echinodorous (keeps getting uprooted Ideas on how to keep it put are welcome)
6-7 ludwigia
3-4 watersprite
2-3foot centerpiece driftwood and 2 sidepieces (trying to find some anubias for these)
Lots of lava rock (that's what I think it is) and a few fake plants
Ok so my current stock is:

1 (5.5") bala shark (although schooling fish, he will stand his ground sometimes even attacking my datnoid, not even kidding!)

1 (6") parrot fish (these two were liplocking for the first time yesterday)

1 (6") EBJD (liplocked with parrot fish)

1 (3.5") jd (picks on datnoid)

1 (6") indo dat (likes to watch me, loves his lil' corner, scaredy cat)

1 (6-7") featherfin synodontis (morbidly obese, temperamental)

I was hoping I could give away the bala shark and get:
A: green terror
B: some synodontis (either cuckoo's or... idk tbh)
C: a predatory catfish (I wanted a lima shovelnose but that's not possible)
Omg! I found this thing called a sturgeon catfish and according to planet catfish it only gets 15"!!! Will that work? It seems quite rare.. it resembles a lima.

Dat will eventually outgrow it, probably not for awhile tho, I wouldn't get more syn cats with the feather fin, super aggressive to their own species.

Is my tank overstocked? just keeping in mind the datnoid is NOT full grown, he's only about 8" and the featherfins actually closer to 7.5". jd's prolly more like 4.5" and parrot fish maybe 7.5". ebjd more like 8" bala shark is still same size though. Oh and i have a few new fish, a 4" bristolnose, and a 4" female jd.

oh and edit that part about the power compact, i read the specs and its t5ho lol. dont blame me i got it used off craigslist.
Oh and i have ALOT more plants now. id say im maybe heavily planted. but the plants for the most part havent settled in (a few have tho). also keeping in mind the crap load of lava rock which is very porous and houses god knows how much bacteria. and im having a green algae bloom which is a sign of a mature tank i believe and its a + for filtration.

If your water parameter is good, then just watch for aggression.
