I don't think what you listed is remotely overstocked---of course if you only had 1, small sponge filter....that'd be a different story. I have a Fluval FX6 running on a 150g with ~80 or more fish?
I didn't see you list Gilts. Any particular reason, or do you just not have access to them? You will thoroughly enjoy their presence.

Then maybe I'll have to grab another pair of darters as well . I'd love gilts and so would the guy I'll be collecting with but according to him he's searched for them all over and never found more than one. If we can find any then he has first dibs on a few but if by some miracle we seine a whole net full of them I'll grab a pair as well. And as for filtration, I'll be running a fluval 406 canister and a river manifold filter with two big sponges.I don't think what you listed is remotely overstocked---of course if you only had 1, small sponge filter....that'd be a different story.

You take a two hour drive headed into a massive storm cell to a creek you've never been to to get some species that were just delisted 3 days ago!
Nevertheless, I got myself a trio of Bluebreasts, a pair of Tippecanoes (one of which unfortunately seems like he'll not make it overnight), plus a bonus male banded just because it looked nice .
Brilliantly colored, large bluebreast male (hard to see the great coloration by the picture) :
Also decided to hit the largest marsh in PA (geneva marsh) on the way to French creek and got 7 central Mudminnows and a 1" grass pickerel there. Well, I had 7 Mudminnows until I put them with some bullhead fry, at which point I was down to 4 of them after 5 minutes and one almost ate the pickerel. That was a mistake to think those individuals would mix well together, so now I've got the pickerel and last 4 Mudminnows in a 15 gallon with some angelfish fry and Ancistrus lol.
