I know this is asked a lot but could I get some advice as to whether I am under/over stocked at the mo.

I have an 80litre planted tank:

1 Dwarf Gourami
6 Red Phantom Tetras
5 Neon Tetras
2 Bolivian Rams
1 Flying Fox
2 Bristlenose Catfish
 
your are overstocked and may have fish compatibility issues for instance you cannot have 2 bristlenoses in a 80 litre unless there females. i think its 1 per 20 gallon (not sure). also a flying fox can become very agressive as he gets older so think about rehoming him and get your gourami a friend :) you could take the bristlenoses and the flying fox back then you shouldnt be overstocked :)

If I could find a female gourami I would but no such luck around here. As for the bristlenoses, they are young but Im pretty sure are a male and a female and seem happy together at the mo. The flying fox or SAE (Im not sure which it is) is friendly so far and growing rapidly so Ill keep a close eye on him.
 
An SAE has a black line along its body that extends into its tail, a flying fox doesn't :) Mind you, the SAEs I have were labelled 'torpedo flying foxes' in my lfs!
