Question

my tank
is my tank over stocked ...
1 jewel cichlid
1 kissing gourami
1 firemouth cichlid
1 sevrum
2 silver dollars
and 1 bullhead catfish
my tank is a 50 gallon

Answer
Hi Ben,

Because of the size of your fish (as seen in the image attached) I have to say yes, it's over-stocked.

You should get another tank to put at least 4 of the fish into.  It's time to separate them and give them more room.  :)

Good luck!  Happy fish-keeping.
