Yes. Way too many.
That many fish should have a 10 gallon; you might get by with a 5, but it will be difficult to keep everyone healthy and happy.

What kind of catfish? Catfish grow up to various sizes, depending on the species. You need to size the tank for what it will grow up to be, not the baby size it probably is now.
take it from a recent msitake maker who also tried to fit 8 fish in a 2 gallon, DONT DO IT!!!! espacially with the kind of filters those tanks have. my fish died in the first week, once 4 in less than 2 hours. take everyones advice get a 10 gallon. i got a whole ten gallon kit for almost what i paid for the 2 gallon. its worth every penny :thm:
3 months in your 1 gallon? Then you are lucky, or taking good care of what you have. But you REALLY need a bigger tank! Those small tanks are too hard to keep stable. The fish will be happier and healthier and easier to care for the bigger the tank.
EDIT: How often do you have to replace fish? In six months, you should not have to replace any fish if they were healthy to begin with--and your tank was the right size and properly cared for.
