i would say so, upside down cats can reach about 6 inches, and congo tetras can get big as well.

Yes, you are way overstocked. The Congo Tetra's get quite big & would fill the tank.

Yes, that is overstocked... Upside down Cats are too big for a 20g.. I would go with something like Aeneus Catfish. [link=Click here for further information]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/bronzecat.xml" style="COLOR: #0000FF[/link]

But I agree that Congo's and Upside Down cats are too big for a 20gl.
