I make that around 150-200 inch of full grown fish, which puts you way over your limit.
 
Yes it is extremly over stocked.

Short and sweet :lol:

I have to agree- I would have thought there would be little room for each species of fish to live out their lives and have full freedom of movement.
Yeah my 55g looks alittle crowded when the fish are all together (which is almost all the time) and I can't even imagine what your tank looks like.
 
Hi. Ya, your tank is way overstocked. Even if the fish were only to grow to 1" you are still overstocked. Maybe you should look into getting another tank?
