I would appreciate a little help with arranging my fish now that my 55g broke. It was my cooler water tank.

I have (2) 29g tanks, (1) 46g and (1) 120g

For
Panda Corydoras (4 at present)
Neon tetras (6 at present)
Mom and dad angelfish (With clutches coming and going)
Corydoras aeneus (8 at present)
Cardinal tetras (3 at present)
melanotaenia splendida (7 at present)
Diamond tetras (tbd)
Angelfish (tbd)
Clown pleco (1)
Platy (9 at present)
Opaline gourami (1)

So I was wondering if I could do this, feel free to offer your own ideas as well.

29g
Panda Corydoras
Neon tetras
75° possibly cooler in winter?

29g
Mom and dad angelfish
With clutches coming and going
79° - 80°

46g
Corydoras aeneus
Cardinal tetras
(Taking the larger tank so I can still possibly add apisto or gbr?)
78°?

120g
melanotaenia splendida
Diamond tetras
Angelfish
Clown pleco
78°?

I'm not sure as far as tank mate AND temperature compatibility where the 3 spot or the platys would best fit?

Also I'm not sure about the angels in the 29g. I know that it's a decent sized spawning tank but they will stay with their clutch for about 8 weeks likely. After which ??? I guess I need a grow out tank right? Or maybe I should just suck out the eggs and feed other fish? Or separate them? Or sell them as a mated pair? They just won't do in a community. They are too vicious.

I still haven't decided what center piece fishes to put in my 120g

A little help please lol

Side note
I also have
5g betta
5g betta
10g ellasomma okefenoke
10g blackworms

In case any of those are useful in a way I don't know about.

Thank you!

(I couldn't find a stocking category so forgive me moderators if this is misplaced)

Welcome aboard

Sorry to hear about your 55 gallon. The only things I would suggest is maybe swapping the Cardinal Tetra and Panda Cories into the warmest aquarium. The platys will be fine in the lower temp. aquarium.

The Cardinals like temp above 80 degrees.
 
Thats unfortunate you had a tank break. In my opinions, it does not matter if your tank is 75* or 78*. The difference is slight, and all of the fish you have can be kept comfortably in the 76-82* range. I wouldn't overthink the temperature too much.
