Dispersion of Current Fish

[BlueKiller82]

Please dont comment unless you carefully read this entire post, thanks!

Hello, below are my current tanks and stock lists, I know the 65 Gallon and 20 are not ideal for their current stock list.

65 Gallon- 36"x18"
1- Adult Pair of Angelfish
4- Geophagus Abalios (3-4")
1-Albino Oscar (2-3" impulse Buy)
1- Dwarf Gourami
5- Panda Cory's
Breeding Trio of Bushynose Plecos

20 Gallon
1- Carpintis Chairel (4")

26 Gallon Bow
15-Baby Angels
50- Baby Plecos

75 Gallon-48" (EMPTY)
________________________________

If you have read this far, my goal is to dwindle down to just the 65 and 75 gallon tanks. Trying to figure out best way to do that. I plan to only keep 4/5 of the baby angels (or none), and a select few of the baby plecos.

Option 1
Get rid of Geophagus
75 Gallon with Oscar and Carpintis and Full Size Bushynose Plecos
Everyone else in 65 Gal.

Option 2
Get rid of Carpintis
75 Gallon with Oscar and Geophagus and Full size bushynose
Everyone else in 65 gal

Option 3
Get rid of Carpintis
75 Gallon with Oscar and Adult Pair of Angels (Yes this can be done where the Oscar is still a baby)
Everyone else in 65 Gal

Option 4
Get rid of Oscar or Carpintis and Geophagus
75 Gallon with Carpintis or Oscar and Bushynose Plecos
Everyone else in 65

Option 5
get rid of oscar, gourami, all baby angels
75 Gallon with Adult Angels and Geophagus and handful of baby plecos and all corys
65 with Carpintis and Bushynose Plecos

I am open to all thoughts and comments as well as other options, everyone may have a different opinion but please dont bash anyone if theirs isnt the same as yours. Thanks in Advance!!

I would personally go with Option 5
get rid of oscar, gourami, all baby angels
75 Gallon with Adult Angels and Geophagusand handful of baby plecosand all corys
65 with Carpintis and Bushynose Plecos

Having the oscar will really limit your options based on tank size and tankmates but the abalios will also out grow the tank but they grow pretty slow. Have you looked into Geophagus "red head tapajos" they top out at a smaller size.

My original intent was to get some red head tapajos and my lfs was out but talked me into the abalios saying they were very similar cousins to red heads. Told me that in the 65 they would be fine for a few years.

Yeah they should be fine for a while but just saying that the red heads are some of the smaller eartheaters and one of my personal favorites. but anyways, good luck on your set-up!

Thanks for your input. I don't see myself getting any larger fish tanks anytime in the next 5 years so I guess I'll have to take that into consideration for the abalios. Of course the Oscar was stunning for a red albino and I had always wanted one of this color, hence my impulse buy.
