Am I overstocked?

[P00rColl3geBoi]

I got a 46g bow front, in it I have the following:

1 angelfish
5 rosy fin tetras
6 glowlite tetras
5 marble hatchets
3 panda cories
1 clown pleco
1 mystery snail

I was just wondering if I'm overstocked or is there possibility for a couple more panda cories OR one angel? Thanks!

keep only one angel... round out the tetra school to 6 and the corydoras group to 4

I just don't wnat my angel to be unhappy by him/herself...always looks so lonely

personally unless the hachets really school together i would scrap them unless the tank is well covered. if they fight alot in a loosly covered tank there tends to be alot of jumping and carpet diving

marbled hatchets are one of my favorite fish for keeping the upper areas of tanks lively. There is no need to scrap them unless you don't want them anymore.

i agree with JM about the angelfish, but I think you could add one more centerpiece type fish in your tank as long as you aren't a slacker on water changes. Perhaps a SA headstander , (abramites, anostomus, etc) or any other of the thousand oddball fish, I don't know how close you are trying to stay to the south american theme, but their are a lot of choices for another moderately sized loner type fish from the amazon or its drainage. I have found an anostomus almost always adds some color and life to a tank, and recently I have seen a lot of these floating around random fish stores. I think it might be the time of year, but I would add one more single fish with some personality.
