I've currently got 3x bloodfin tetra, 3x head and tail light tetra, 3x albino glowlight tetra, 3x ekei rasboras (about .5 inch max each), 1 weather loach, 1 flounder, 1 albino cory, 1 hong kong pleco (2 inches max), 1 angel, 1 ghost cat( max approx. 6 inches)

I am wondering if this is over stocked, or once I add the extra filter, if I will be able to add any more, I would prefer a med. sized fish, (4-8 inches max) if anyone has any suggestions that would be compatable with my current stock, that'd be great.
I'm idealy looking for at least a pair of endlers livebearers - guppy relative, but they are really hard to acquire around here, and I'm not going to pay 60$ for 4, or 45 for 2.

Also, is that some special species of flounder? Because the only flounders I know of get quite large so you may eventually need to find a new home for it. Also, your weather loach is going to end up getting 12" which is too big for a 33 gallon tank. I would suggest looking into a bigger tank for these guys. That would leave the 33 gallon just slightly overstocked, but with the extra filtration and frequent water changes, you could probably make it work, but don't add any more fish.

I've had the tank up and running approx. 3 weeks.
As for water changes, I change approx 2 gallons every 2-3 days, but now I will be changing 3 every time, ( i have a new container to store water in to let it get to room temp, and clear out some of the chlorine, ect in it)
As for the flounder, the lady at the pet store, (cichlid small jaws and I call her the fish lady, cause she really knows about fish, as well as another guy that works there) and they told us that it shouldnt grow more than the 1-1/2-2 inches it is.
