Okay...here it goes. I currently have 2 stocked 55 gallon tanks, and 2 empty tanks (210g & 29g). I've only owned fish for 6 months and I initially only planned to have ONE tank, but I royally screwed up when stocking it. Now I need to know what is the optimum setup for success, yes I know it's a mess.
My fish are currently all juveniles:
1st 55g
3x johanni (m)
5x yellow lab (?)
2x kimpuma red tops (?)
1x acei (?)
1x cynotilapia lion "lions point" (?)
2x OB peacock (?)
2x fryeri "electric blue" (1 is definitely female, the other I believe is male)
2nd 55g
1x fryeri (m)
1x fuscotaeniatus (?)
1x c. boreyli (m)
3x "swallowtail" jakes "otter point" (?)
3x a. stuartgranti "ruby red" (1 definitely male, 1 definitely female)
2x a. baenschi (I think both are male)
2x albino rubenscens (?)
I figure if I want anyone else for the 210g, I need to get the fusco used to them now since he's already getting quite aggressive. I figure the fusco, boreyli, fryeri and swallowtails will all go in there eventually, but I'm not sure whether everyone else will be okay until that happens, or if I can even add more fish now...it's still a little ways off. I need to replace my basement carpeting, build the sump and remove the scratches before setting it up (it's a used bottom drilled acrylic tank that's pretty badly scratched. I picked it up for only $60)
Can I add 2 more juvie swallowtail jakes to my peacock tank and some s. reef taiwans?
Should I add anybody else?
Should I move anybody now? (I can set up the 29g (tall) if anyone should be isolated)
Who should ultimately go where?
