Get ya ***e$ in here and help me sort this stuff out.

Ok here's my cichlid list again:

2 Black Convicts
2 Albino Convicts
2 Green Terrors (1 Gold Saum, 1 Silver Saum)
2 Jack Dempsey's (1 Regular, 1 Golden)
2 Black Nasties
2 Cubans
2 Texas
5 Blood Parrot x Texas Hybrids
4 Flowerhorns
1 Red Devil x Lyonsi Hybrid
1 Mystery Fish (Will post a new thread with pic to help identify after I get off work)

Ok here's the deal, I currently have 3 tanks set up (90, 29 and 10), which will only be ok for the next couple of months as size is increasing rapidly.

I am moving within the next month to a house with a basement. How should I set up me tanks? Here what I have empty:

A 265, 150 and a 125. I will also purchase a 55 for the 4 convicts. So exclude them from your breakdowns. I will keep the 29 for a hospital tank, just incase. Also do I have room to add fish?
 
10:Nothing will Fit
29:Hospital
55:4 Convicts
90:5 Blood ParrotxLyonsi Hybrids
125:2 Green Terrors and 2 Jack Dempseys
150:2 Black Nasties and 2 Texas
265:4 Flowerhorns, 2 Cubans, and the RDxLyonsi Hybrid

Just my opinions. Some tanks are a bit crowded...
 
Actually this is near perfect, I will not be keeping all 4 flowerhorns nor will I keep all 5 Blood Parrot x Texas.

I love my convicts and well... all of my fish. Still open for idea's though.
 
1 more question, could I use the 10 for a hospital for the convicts or will it be too small?
 
the ten gallon will be a little small for both convicts, and I assume they are large adult cons?

They are, but they are in a 29 now. Going in a 55. I was asking if the 10 was good for a hospital tank. Thanks to everyone how has read the questions and answered so far!

Keep the advice coming
