in your opinion, am i overstocked?

planted 37g: 1x Pterophyllum scalare, 2x Corydoras paleatus, 2x Corydoras aeneus,
2x Corydoras unknown, 2x Paracheirodon innesi, 2x Panaque maccus, 7x Otocinclus vestitus,
3x Poecilia reticulata (male), 2x Poecilia reticulata (female), 1x Archocentrus nigrofasciatus (fry),
3x Atyopsis moluccensis

20g long:
5x Puntius tetrazona, 1x Breeding pair Archocentrus nigrofasciatus w/ fry.
 
well, i got rid of the 1 Archocentrus nigrofasciatus fry i had in my 37g, and all the Archocentrus nigrofasciatus fry in my 20g long.
 
It'd help if you gave common names for those of us that are unfamiliar with species names, but I'd say the 37 looks ok. This is what I've figured out: 1 angelfish, 6 assorted corys, 7 oto cats, 5 guppies (3m, 2f)
 
Maybe there are too many cories in the 37? It depends on how big they are now, but don't they grow to be several inches long?
 
37g planted: 1 koi angelfish, 2 peppered cories, 2 bronx cories, 2 cories unknown, 2 neons, 2 clown plecos, 7 otto cats, 3 fancy male guppies, 2 fancy female guppies, 3 bamboo shrimp

20g long: 5 tiger barbs, 1 convict breeding pair.
 
it would be better if you got rid of the tiger barbs in the 20g and for the 37, it depends on what kind of plecos you have
