I don't know how to word it. Here's my stock list for all the fish I own, and the plans are gonna be color coded. LMK if this is okay.

1 Gallon
- 20 or so guppy fry, born yesterday
2.5 Gallon
- Green Terror Cichlid
2.5 Gallon
-Male Betta Fish
10 gallon
-Male Betta Fish
-Male Paradise Fish
-5 Bristlenose Pleco Fry
-Male guppy
-Female Guppy
-female balloon Molly
-Mystery snail
20 gallon
-Male Paradise Fish
-Male Guppy
-4 Bristlenose Pleco
-2 Zebra Danio

Red: Rehome
Blue: Move

Here's the new stock list, in no particular tanks:
2 Male Guppies, Green terror Cichlid, 2 Male Betta Fish, Female Balloon Molly, Mystery Snail, Male Paradise Fish, 4 Bristlenose Plecos, 2 Zebra Danio

Here's what I will buy/get: 8 Zebra Danio, 29 Gallon tank, 55 Gallon Tank, 75 Gallon Tank, two 5.5 gallon tanks, 1 Thorichthys ellioti(if not, I'll just get a Meeki)

New Stock List, after buying and moving:
5.5 Gallon
-1 Male Betta
5.5 Gallon
-1 Male Betta
10 Gallon
-Unclear, seems like the male guppies are going here
20 Gallon
-1 Thorichthys ellioti/meeki
29 Gallon
-10 Zebra Danio
-1 Male Paradise Fish
-1 Male Bristlenose Pleco
-1 Female Balloon Molly
55 Gallon
-3 Bristlenose Pleco
75 Gallon
-1 Green Terror Cichlid

Sorry if I'm confusing, this 'format' flows really well through my brain. I can only buy more livestock, money is way too limited to get more tanks.

Please give me every single thing that's wrong or flawed and give me a solution, I do know the majority, but it doesn't hurt to run it through a forum or two.

P.S. I titled this 'difficult situation' because there are a few small things that slow me down from going through with many parts of the plan, like me having to move, and my mom not letting me rehome/get rid of certain fish, making this whole situation difficult for me.

I woud put the meeki in the 55 with the bn plecos. And get that gt into a bigger tank asap
I'm getting a 29 off the same guy that gave me the GT this weekend, I'll keep her in there until I move, which is a max of 5 days after I get the 29. My parents won't let me set up any bigger tanks until we move.
 
5 days in a 29 is fine for a small gt.
I would agree that the 55 wuld be wasted on 3 Bn plecos, If you want thoricthys I would get meeki instead of maculipinnis (ellioti is the old sp. name) because they are a bit less aggressive, and do a group of 5 of them in the 55. They really like to be in groups, I don't think a lone thoricthys in a 20 gallon would be as happy.
Other than that, your new stock lists look fine for those tanks.

ooh a group of 5! I like!

Oh and I found out my friend has a tank he's just gonna give away to me, he said it's 4' long, but that's just an estimate, if I get the exact tank size, (I'm guessing it's 55) what should I stock it with?
