Hello I am new to this fishy business but I'm quickly becoming hooked (lol) I got a 90L almost a yr ago and im sure ive made way too many mistakes. My first batch of fish lasted a fair while but i just chose pretty fish and didnt realise there was much more to it than feeding and watching them swim about 
next time i researched a bit and googled gentle friendly fish so I got 5 platy's 4 Molly's 6 neon tetras. I already had 2 corys and 2 shrimp (they are cool and my son likes them lol) from my first fish. All the live bearing fish are girls so no fry unless they were pregnant already. We have about 8 babies (SO excited) but as I'm so new at this I'm sadly expecting them not to survive I'm doing my best and I'm researching like crazy but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
In the mean time I got a 40L (told you I was hooked) for my son's room and he has 2 boy platys 3 danios and 3 mini frogs he's very happy boy
Now... I recently acquired my friends tank (125L) which I thought only had one or two fish inside and I planned on putting all my fish in there to give them a bit more space and so I could get few more corys.
Can't happen!!!!!! Tank came with 2 clown loaches a aucking loach and 6 huge rainbowfish!! All of which I think grow too big (I think so but tell me if I'm wrong lol)
Anyway my problem is what to do with the fish? I rang my local fish shop who said they would take them if I needed but I would prefer to find them homes as I can't get ANOTHER tank lol
(I mean....i would but house is quite tanked up already lol)
Will my over full 90L be ok for a while till I can move them?
Can I rejig any fish to make them more comfy? I'm scared to combine any fish from either tank incase they get eaten or bullied etc.
Please help!!!!!
Sorry for my ramble lol
