1 male gold gourami
2 female gold gourami
3 female blue gourami
4 Bolivian rams
15 harlequin rasboras
6 emerald corys

My tank is a 55 gallon my filtration is aqua clear for a 60-70 gallon fish tank I do water changes every weekend would I be overstocked under stocked or just the right amount oh and it's also planted as well
 
I think it is overstocked. :( Although, many people would disagree with me and say it's fine.
Are you going to upgrade to a bigger tank? Remove fish? Keep it how it is?
If that was me, I'd remove all the gouramis for the heck of it to make the tank less overcrowded. :good:

-B. :)

The gouramis are actually my favorite fish and my tank doesn't really look over crowded there's actually a lot of swimming space I mean it's a 55 gallon tank I don't think I'm going to go any bigger
 
Ohh... ok, then keep it how it is. I guess that's fine. :) SO... you're going to keep it how it is? Not going to get like a 40 gallon and remove the other fish (not gouramis) into the 40?
 
Make sure you have the bottom divided up enough to give territory with broken lines of sight for the rams. If they pair & spawn keep an eye on the corys, who occupy the same bottom area & have no sense at all about staying away from spawning cichlids. If it weren't for the rams you could double the amount of corys.

Actually I have a feeling all my Bolivians are male but if they do pair up I have a spare 20 gallon that's of no use I can use that for them funny all my bolivians get along and they have all developed there own territory They don't seem to bother each other they have there ocasional square off but after that they go back to swimming next to each other

No I don't want to get another tank I have a spare 20 gallon incase anything happens
