These are my geo's are they the type they said?

 

[peathenster]

G. altifrons. 10 would be too many eventually but you have a few months to decide.

Agree with peathenster.Looks like altifrons to me too.
Plus a thorichthys?

 

[Stedz2121]

I only got 7 of them. How can I sex them or can't I?

 

[Stedz2121]

Iv got in the tank now

7 geo's
15 silver dollars
15 schultzei cory
5 orange lazer cory
2 fire mouths
1 bueno loach

Is this over stocked?

 

[peathenster]

I'd get rid of 9-11 SDs and the two FM. Keep an eye on the cories - the altifrons may try to eat them when they are adults, but it will take a while.

 

[Stedz2121]

So 6sd,7geo's,20corys,2firem is max for my tank?

 

[peathenster]

I'd remove the FMs because they don't fit. There's actually quite a bit of room in the mid/upper water column if you don't have to keep the SDs, for fish like angels, a pair of severums, Uarus, festivums etc etc. Not all together of course.

I agree with all peathenster said.
I would remove the firemouths, they seem an odd addition to a south American tank.
Silver dollars are nice but if it were my tank I would have a group if festivums for the upper levels, and maybe a group of giant hatchet fish.
Brochis splendens would be a safer bet long term instead of your smaller growing cory's.
