How do you move house with aggressive cichlids?

[electroshadow]

So basically I'm trying to sell a house and move thus I have had to decommission all but 2 of my tanks in order to make the house look spacious. In pretty sure I have created world war 3 waiting to happen.

Right so the only tank I have running is a 100 gallon with 3 x 2200lph canister filters. All with mature cultures.

Now original tank mates were:
2 x 8" severums
8 Congo tetras
3" GT
3" Texas cichlid
5" t bar cichlid
3 x 5" red hump GEOS
2 x bristle nose plecs

Now newly added inhabitants hopefully short term if they survive or im going to have to sell
8 small Cory's
3" phantom green pleco
2" Thai silk flower horn (luckily he's small)
3 x 5" hoplo armoured cat fish
3" oscar


The only other tank I have running is a small 20gal with 1 x 4" rainbow snakehead I'm pretty sure nothing can be housed with him....?

How do others deal with these situations.? In expecting dead fish weekly through aggression..

Only thing i see dying is the corries and maybe the flowerhorn. It's not a certain thing though just watch aggression.

Only been a morning Cory's all his under my huge bit of oak but the flowerhorn already has a few bit marks from the Texas I think
Might have to sort a tubaware tank or something Quick.

In the future I was hoping to try and mate the fh and Texas but that might not happen now

Being that the flower horn is small you could try and set up one of those breeder boxes that people use for livebears

Good idea how big would it need to be?

Hopping to get a 7ft by 2.5ft tank for my new place would it be able to house everything minus the fh and the catfish?

+1 to the breeding net to sepperate them , use a square net type biggest you can fit/find , that way your fh won't be under further stress from tankmoves and water condition changes

Luckily everyone in there is pretty small. I thought your list was going to consist of adult size fish. In a 100 gallon, fish that small isn't too bad.

I sold all my fish, except for a few plecs that are slow growing and hard to replace. Small cichlids like that can easily be replaced, might just be easier to move some on and wait til you're set up in the new place?
