Have I too many fish in my Tank?!!

[WIGGETT]

Does anyone else think I have too many fish in my tank I have tried to get it right but now people are confusing me!

Tank - Jewel Vision 180litre - 36"x13"x 20"

5 x Paradise Fish
4 x Rainbow Fish
2 x Geophagus
4 x Mollies
2 x Sailfin Mollies
5 x Coral Platies
2 x Baby Parrot fish
2 x Baby Silver Dollar
2 x Neon Rio Gourami
2 x Kissing Gourami
1 x Dwarf Puffer

Also I am confused with my Silver Dollar I am having suspisions that they ar enot actually Silver Dollars but Schreitmuller's Metynnis because of a red mark on the anal fin. Any Advice ?

I would say yes, it's over stocked.
The silver dollars sound like red hooks. Nice, but their too big for your tank I'm afraid (when full grown)
Geophagus are African chichlids, and are way to aggressive and big for your tank, so are the parrot fish (which , by the way, unless you have the natural green ones from lake Malawi (forgot what their called) are genetically man made mutants, and I would suggest you never buy them so these horrible "better fish" projects go away).
When the dwarf puffer gets older, it will only be about an inch long, but will kill all of your fish. they have bony plates for teeth and can easily rip through fish flesh and bones.
I would take the dwarf puffers, the parrot fish, the silver dollars, the puffers, the kissing gouramis, and the geophagus back to the store you got them from (although you may not get a refund).
Sorry if that seems a it harsh, but you really need to research fish before you buy them, not after.

Thanks for your reply, I bought all of my fish from the same store which has been voted the 11th best aquatics shop anywhere in the UK by a leading tropical fish magazine, so it just shows you that they may be more keen on selling and not on the welfare of the fish, so perhaps they dont deserve there title. The dwarf puffer is fully grown now and although others I have had in the past have been aggresive this one is a placid as a goldfish! Thanks for the advise about the parrot fish though I wasnt aware of that!

I definately agree with FrankS on the parrot,silver dollars, and the geophagus. They need to go back to the store. They will get too big/aggressive for your tank. I know very little about puffers never owned one myself but i keep hearing they too are aggressive so take him back also. I think you are still over stocked after that also so you maty want to concider either getting rid all of the gourami or all the pardise/rainbow fish
