Can I Combine All These?

[Freedom]

When I bought the 50 gallon, my initial plan was to eventually move everything from the old Tropiquarium 68 over, and just run one tank.
 
Things happened, mainly the woman who showed up and donated her 15 fish to me as a 'thank you' for something I'd done for her.
 
So now things have settled down, and I want to know:
- are these fish compatible?
- will the 50 gallon be overstocked?
 
Here's what I have:
 
50 gallon  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Tropiquarium
5 danios   . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 long fin danios
10 rummy nose tetras . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8 red eye tetras
10 lambchop rasboras (espei)
4 bronze cory cats (aeneus)
6 gold cory cats (aeneus)7
3 mystery snail . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 mystery snails
  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .1 horned nerite snail
  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  . 3 otocinclus *
1 pink kissing gourami
 
Both tanks have a few rcshrimp, though I've only seen 1, in the smaller tank, in the past 2 weeks.  Don't know if any are left in the large tank.
 
Both tanks have the same assortment of plants, 2 moss balls each. 
The subwassertang was only in the large tank, but that has disappeared, no idea what happened to it.  Someone ate it?
 
*otocinclus - I do realize they need to be in a larger school.  I bought 5, 2 died right off, which is typical for this species. 
 
The 50 gallon tank has an oversized filter: Aqueon Quiet Flow 55 / 75.
 
I really want to get rid of the Tropiquarium.  If I can't combine everything, I will likely buy a 29 gallon tank and stand to replace it.

Your 50 gallon right now is already almost fully stocked.
I do not think your kissing gourami is appropriate for your set up. It is best to rehome him.

After rehoming your gourami you should move your snails and ottos into the 55g and put the rest of your fish into your 29g.


What is ' tropiquarium '? I'm not familiar with that brand.

Tropiquarium 68 was made by Hagen in the 1990's.  It is an all in one.

The gouraimi was a rescue, so I did think I'd have to rehome it.  Please explain why it is not a good fit?  I don't understand.
 
Why would the otos and snails not move to the 29 gallon with the tetras and danios?    I like to understand why I do things, lol.  Thanks!

Kissing gouramis can grow up to be over 8 inches so would far outgrow your 50 gallon. They can also be quite nasty at times and could cause trouble with other fish.

The otos and snails could go into the 29 no probs. I just thought you wanted to put as much as possible into the 50 gallon.

I think the otos and snails will stay in the 29, so I have some 'cleaner fish' in there.  I was planning to move all the danios in together to the 29.
 
The gourami was living in a 10 gallon, for 3 or 4 years, since he was purchased from PetCo.  I'm just giving it some time to adjust to larger digs, make sure it is alright, before moving it on.  I did see it will outgrow my tank but for now, this is just a stepping stone on its journey.  So far, its been very peaceful.  I saw it needs a 75 gallon.

It would be better to have the danios in the 50 and 2 groups of tetras and the snails and otos in the 29.
The danios are more active and will appreciate the extra space.
IMO this would be your best stocking:

In the 50,
5 danios
6 longfin danios
10 lamb chop rasboras
4 bronze cats
6 gold cats
3snails
1 kissing gourami ( until you move it on, just make sure that he goes to a good home )


29
8 redeye tetras
10 rummynose
Snails
Otos

Of course you could have it either way but it would be best IMO to have the danios in THe 50.

Hmm OK I'll think on that as well, thank you!
 
Went to see one 29 gallon yesterday, didn't like it and decided to pass.  So no changes till I find one I like on craigslist.

Ah well, keep looking til you find one that's right for you. There's no immediate rush.
Keep me updated on your tanks.
