Hi,
I need to figure out how to split all of my fish up so that they are all happy. I want to list all the fish i currently have and see what everyone thinks about where to put them, or which to find new homes for. I have two 30 USG tanks one 10 USG that will probably become a QT tank, and I'm getting a 75 USG tomorrow.

I have a mix of fish that I was uneducated about at the time of purchase.

1x Rope Fish
1x BGK
1x Featherfin synodontis
1x Leporinus
1x Bristlenose pleco
1x Panda cory
1x Clown loach
2x Gouramis
2x Pictus catfish
6x Black kuhli loaches

I want to put the Rope fish, featherfin, leporinus, pleco, clown loach, and the pictus's in the 75 gallon. I was going to try the BGK in it also but I know I wont be able to add anything else. (This is where I need help :/) In the 75 gallon I was hoping to up my one cory to around 10-12, add x6 kuhli loaches, and up the clown loaches, but I know they like to be in groups of 6 or more and I don't think I have the room? I also would like a school of marbled hatchetfish.

I really need advice.

Its proving to be really hard having one of this, and one of that..

I think I need to find a new home for the BGK and maybe the Clown loach, even though I love them :sad:
 
I'd put everything that won't go into one of the smaller tanks into the 75g (so that's the BGK, rope fish, clown loach, featherfin and leprinus). You might have to think about rehoming the loach and the BGK, I'm not sure on that.

The bristlenose won't grow very big, so he can stay in one of the 30gs; possibly with the kuhlis and the cory (you should get more of those). a shoal of marbled hatchs (I have some, brilliant fish) could go in with them.

What kind of gouramis are they?

Thanks for the reply :)
I have a gold gourami and a blue one. I wasn't sure if the gold one should go into the 75 gallon or not.. Also could I add anything else to the 75 gallon? Everythings still pretty small and I feel it wont be much to look at and everyone mostly hides during the day. Any ideas on what I can add if any? Maybe a few top level swimmers, or a shoal of some kind?
 
the poor lil lonesome cory needs a group of friends - preferably of the same species. They need to be kept in groups - the minimum being 4 really, but 6 is better if you have the space.

I know! I feel so bad but I ended up getting him by accident a few months ago before I knew they should be in groups. I hope to be getting at least 5 more pandas and 6 julis, as I've fallen in love with the lil cuties.
