135 litre tank stocking

[Jonsmithy]

For my new 135 litre tank I was thinking of stocking:
Green tiger barbs x 10
sparkling gourmai x 3 (from my dad's old tank)
kuhli loaches x 10
harlequin rasbora x 10

Would this be okay? Any issues I should be wary about?

that seems way overstocked to me......the 10 tiger barbs would be more then enough for that size tank

What are the LxDxH dimensions for your tank? Tiger Barbs need a lot of space since they are very active. They also grow MUCH bigger than the Sparkling Gouramis and the Harlequin Rasboras and will probably frighten them. Personally, I would not get the Tiger Barbs, and instead get more Harlequin Rasboras.

Agree. We need the dimensions, but even without, Tiger Barbs are aggressive enough that they need a group of 10+, in their own 30 g (113 liter) tank, as minimum. So in a 135 liter (35 gallons), there would be so little difference. Plus they cannot be combined with gourami and the Harlequin Rasbora would not be a good match either.
