Dear Monsterfishkeepers,

I have added below fishes to my 240 gallon (96 inch length, 24 inch wide, 24 inch height) Please advice me whether my stocking is acceptable. I know it's overstocked. But I love all those fishes. Kindly someone suggest whether I can keep all these fishes happy.

Tinfoil barbs x 6 (grown to 7 inches)
Blood parrot fish x 5 (grown to 5 inches)
Silver dollars x 8 (grown to 5 inches)
Bala sharks x 5 (grown to 6 - 7 inches)
Black ghost knife fish x 1 (grown 9 - 10 inches)
Firemouth x 2 (grown to 3.5 inches)
Albino GiantGourami x 2 (my friend has gifted me 2 red eye albino GIANT Gouramis) Actually i love them lot. for now its only 3 inches.
Clown Loaches x 6 (3 inches)

Filtration: (for my 240 gallon aquarium)
Having a SunSun canister filter (304A) which filters approximately 525 GPH (i.e, 1900 Litres / hour). Also i have ordered 2 Top filters of sobo brand from Flipkart (SOBO Aquarium Top Filter WP-3880F, F.Max:2500L/Hr). Each of them will filter filter 2500 Litres of water / hour.

So totally, i will have approximately more than 1000 GPH filtration per Hour.

Way overstocked and quite a bit underfiltered. Consider a sump or 2 more of the sunsuns. As for fish. Keep one of the gouramis, the loaches, and pick one of the groups of barbs/sharks/dollars to keep. Everything else should go unless you're doing 100% water changes every day. You may be able to keep 2 of the gouramis but they get stupid big.
