Reason I ask if because I use to think it was way overstocked but looking at the tank it seems fine.

75 gal tank 48x18
Fx4 and sponge filter

Stock:
1 9" syno notatus
1 4-5" syno hybrid (not sure name)
1 3-4" dwarf giraffe catfish
1 4" zig zag eel
1 5-6" senegal bichir
1 8-9" delhezi bichir
1 4" lima shovelnose
1 3" Chinese hifin banded shark
1 3" eb acara

Ik the lima and hifin will outgrow, lima I havnt seem much growth in 6 months and hifin will either get sold or go in a friends pond when to big. Not really any aggression in the tank except the notatus pushing others away from his hiding spot where he and the hybrid chill at. The 2 bichirs seem to be okay, I just got the delhezi and I havnt seem any aggression between them
 
Is this the same tank you're going to add your gulpers to?

Your stock seems ok for now but as the fish grow they will start to make the tank look pretty small. I don't think you will be able to keep all of those fish long term. Maybe, you might be able to keep about half.

No different tank
 
Get rid of the lima and the hifin asap. It will be much easier now then when they are gigantic. Other then that, your tank should be ok for quite a while stock wise
