Currently have a 125 gallon 72x18 with the following fish:
2 clown loaches
2 african leaf fish
1 yellowtail barracuda
1 fire eel
1 marble goby
1 banded leporinus
1 lima shovelnose
1 eclipse cat
1 brown knife
1 clown knife

Overstocked? Understocked? They are all fairly small, the largest being the shovelnose and clown knife at around 7 inches. I know the goby and eel have the potential to get huge, they would either be moved to a larger tank or given to someone who has the capacity.

Single Leporinus often turn extremely aggressive. The do best in groups. You may want to return/rehome that one ?

Lightly stocking will give them more room to stay healthy and grow. IMHO I would not add more fish.
 
For the last month he hasn't done more harm than a a little chasing, if it gets bad I will definitely rehome him. But I think it will be ok. I agree with plenty of room for the fish. Just kinda want something thats going to be a bit more active then these guys
