I'm considering putting in my 8"+ fat sleeper gobies in with my 10-14" festae pair. I'm fairly certain this is a bad idea, but I need to move them.

The fat sleeper bastards ate two of the marble sleepers! Fortunately, I was able to rescue the other two while the fat sleepers were digesting their expensive meals. $15 a piece feeders isn't in my budget.

I think the marble sleepers managed to snag my pencilfish, so it's been a silly progression of bad choices on my part. The marbles are going in their own tank. I should have gone with my gut and did that in the first place.

I lost one of the Herichthys sp. turquoise, so the other 7 need to be moved to the 210 to avoid any more aggression related deaths.

That leaves me with where the heck to put the smaller pair of festae. I could chance their aggression in the 210 and split the Herichthys sp. turquoise into two tanks based on fish size.

This is getting to be a juggling act.
 
I don't understand what you are asking. I guess I would put the festae in the 210 and split up the herichthys turquoise.
 
Dormitator maculatus, if thats a fat sleeper goby, will die with the festaes IMO.
Set up some of those empty tanks you got.
 
IMO putting them in with the festae is asking for trouble, set them up in there own tank or find them new homes.
