Hey, I was wondering if anyone could give me feedback on my tanks. All fish are currently under about 6" and I was wondering which ones I could have for life given the tank size that they are currently housed in. Thanks!

120 Gallon- 2 Geophagus Tapajos, 2 Geophagus Surinamensis, Geophagus Steindachneri, 3 Gymnogeophagus paso pache gymnogenys, Gymnogeophagus Valentines (gymnogenys?), 2 Pictus catfish, 2 EBJD, Farowella, Royal Pleco, 5 Tiger Barbs, Banjo catfish, 5 Odessa barbs

75 Gallon-8 Discus, 3 Blue Rams, 15 Cardinal Tetras, 2 Angelfish, 10 Julii Cories, Mango Pleco, Greenspot Pleco, whiptail catfish, pearl gourami, king betta

55 Gallon-5" Green Terror, 5" Paratilapia Bleekeri, 8" Zigzag Eel, 6"Ornate Bichir, 6" Synodontis Eruptus
 
In the first tank I would either stick with Geo's or the gymno's. The gymno's like a little cooler water and really need to have a cool down period.

The second tank I would get rid of the angels, gourami and maybe one discus. The angels will eventually get big enough to eat your cardinals anyway.

55g you might be OK but you are probably either going to need to get rid of the bleekeri or the GT. Probably not enough room for both as adults.

Your not in terrible shape if you keep un top off your water changes and cleaning.
 
I appreciate the responces, maybe I should reword my questions: How many geophagus in my 120 long term? How many discus in a 75 long term? How many of the 5 fish can I keep in my 55 long term? Thanks

dont no much about geos but for the discus i say 5-6 and in the 55 just get rid of 2 or 3 fish and you should be good
 
I personally think the 120 is fine
The 75 is good if you remove the angels
And the 55 seems overstocked
 
in the 120 get rid of the pictus cats and get rid of the angles in the 75
need to rework the 55

Pics? just curious
