I am in doubt about my friend's tank. Is it overstocked? He has a 75 gallon tank but he's filling it only up to about 60-65 gallons! He has 2 fully-grown Red Pacus and 1 Blind Cave Fish.

Considering pacus should be over 40" by the time they're adults I doubt his are fully grown. But by the time they are, they'll need more than 60-65 gallons (each).
Depending on their current size, they may be fine in the tank for a while, but he's evenually going to have to upgrade. A good guide to follow is that the fish shouldn't be larger in length than the tank's smallest dimension (generally front to back) so they can turn around comfortably.

After this bottom feeder I have had since 2000 passes in my 20 gallon tank dies, I will not own another fish in a tank because I feel its wrong. Their fellow Picses.

Yes. He needs to add the rest of the water.
