Rehoming fish, 2x 75G tanks, help with set up

Recommended Posts

Rehoming a lot of plants, dragon stones, driftwoods, and fish.   Need advice on set-up.   One tank will be planted community with eco complete.   The other tank  unsure, but may be for cichlids.   This guy had all these fish together in one tank, and they all get along ok, but it's too many and shouldn't all be compatible.   Which guys and gals should go in each tank?

1 electric blue ram cichlid

1 tiny (1") cichlid (he said it was a baby electric blue jack dempsey) possibly or maybe its just apisto

2 boesemani rainbow fish

1 denison barb roseline shark

1 pearl gourami

2 cherry barbs

2 black skirt tetra

1 leopard danio

3 black neon tetra

1 rainbow shark

3 tiny spotted corydoras (2" maturity)

1 siamese algae eater but with light yellow fins and tail

1 red-tailed loach

1 cinnamon kuhli loach

1 leopard frog pleco possibly (super duper stunning bright gold against black)

5 amano shrimp

1 harlequin rasbora

1 2" long barb of some kind

2 red-tail rasbora

6 red wag platy

2 tetra of some kind (beautiful with green body red tail and belly like green fire tetra, but with bright white ticks on fins)

1 super long vail silver angelfish possibly (looks like a show winner quality) 4"body, 9" overall

1 raggidy black with silver angelfish 3"

He had 7 24 carat gold white cloud minnows that I added in with my three comet goldfish (stock tank in basement)

So... two 75 gallon oceanic tanks with stands to be set up, and one existing tank for cold-water fish.

 

Thank you so much for help.   I want to give these fish and plants the best life possible under the circumstances.

I would keep the south American fish (tetras, angel, ram...) in one tank, along with the smaller rasboras, and the other fish in another tank. 

Also, if you send pics of this possible severum here, I might be able to identify it for you. 

Also, a lot of those fish will get stressed out of kept alone or in schools of less than 6 fish ox the same species. Long term, if I were you, I'd try to either get a school of each species or maybe try to donate some of them and buy more from the rest.

I sent pictures to a local fish breeder.   He said one is a electric blue acara, and the tiny one in question is a blue jack dempsey.   He is maybe an inch total overall length, and likes to zip through the pile of driftwood and mass of plants.   Was hard to get a good picture, had to zoom in and try and catch him for the split seconds he stops darting around.  It's a mulmy mess from pulling his plants and dropping them in my holding tank.
