Hey guys I have a few fish in my tank that get huge and I was just wondering if I'm over stocked. I have a 150 with a 55 gallon sump.(don't know flow rate) but its pretty strong because I can't have any thing the size of a guppy in the tank or it will get sucked into the overflow. Here's my stock
2 Angel Fish
2 Blood Parrots
2 Rainbow Fish
1 Dwarf Gourami
1 Bristlenose Pleco
1 Common Pleco
1 Fire Eel
1 Eclipse Catfish
1 Rainbow Shark
1 Dinosaur Bichir
1 Black Ghost Knife Fish
 
I'd say yes.
Ghost knives can reach up to 19", as can the common pleco.

What kind of rainbowfish? I think most of them do better in larger groups.

What size are the fish now? As they grow you'll likely have to deal with territorial aggression amongst some of the species in there.
 
Most are medium sized and for now they all get along great. A Bosemani Rainbow and an Australian Rainbow. I also have 2 logs so that seems to help. The 2 Blood Parrots share one, the BGK lives in one, and my Eclipse lives behind a rock. My eel lives under my drift wood and I have a clay pot where my rainbow shark lives.
