Hi everyone glad to have found this forum. I have a 29g with 3 tiger barbs, 1 angelfish and 1 rainbow shark. Yesterday I decided to add more fish but I think I may have put to many. I added 3 more Barbs 2 giant danios and a Raphael catfish. They are all small now but after researching the size they can get to I am definitely overstocked. My tank is 9 months old and fully cycled. Do you think I should bring some of these fish back? I don't want to have issues with the water quality. Thanks!

I would take the Raphael and shark back. They do gets good size and not really suitable for this tank.
The shark is semi aggressive and could quickly become a bully to everything else.
I'd work on evening out your schools. Schooling fish such as barbs, tetras, danios, etc prefer groups of 5+ to feel comfortable.
Tiger barbs are also very notorious for fin nipping. If you start seeing some torn fins on say the angel especially they are your culprit.
