I have a 55 gallon and here is the stock:
15 pritellas
5 congos
4 otos
2 siamese
5 corys
1 angel
1 dwarf gourami
1 knifefish
1 jurapari


Planted tank with co2 injection filtered by 2 ac and 9 watt uv

What species of knifefish is it? Some species are fine for a 55 gallon while others get longer than the tank itself.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Couple questions: What kind of knife fish? By

2 siamese

, I take it you mean Siamese alage eaters? What kind of corys?

I don't know much about juruparis, but seeing as they're also called earth eaters, I'd assume that they dig around a lot and will most likely uproot your plants. Also, seeing as they get almost 10 inches, I'd say that yes you are overstocked. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm imagining that tank is very crowded with the listed stock in it.

About the knife fish... If it is an African, you should be ok. If it is a clown or a black ghost, look out! They get big! Black ghosts get to about 20 inches, and clowns can get up to 40 inches

I hate to say it but I really think you need to reconsider your stock. No one likes to hear that but it's for the well being of the fish.
