Hi all, I'm just wondering if this tank would be overstocked
The tank dimensions are 3ftx1.5ftx2ft or 90cmx45x60cm (length x width x height)
It has 3 large sponge filters as well as two large pothos growing out of the top
The stocking would be
2 Firemouth cichlids (meeki)
5 Sailfin mollies (2 M, 3 F)
1 Spotted talking catfish
 
Mollies need a bit of salt in their water or very hard water in order to do well. Swordtails are a great replacement.

They’re breeding, and I also have a homemade filter which increases the hardness of the water.
 
You’ll find mollies in similar areas as firemouths if I’m correct.

Yep. The natural hobbyist me wanted me to get some natural swordtails, but the money making side of me wanted me to get the mollies to breed for my LFS and the catfish, well it's just cool and will bring more noise to the fish room.
