Alright fellas since the floors in my home wont allow me a supertank, How should I upgrade?

I live with my parents and they look down on the fact I bought a 150g tank, broke it and wanted another one. SO they said if I wish to continue living in their home I cannot exceed 90 gallon tank(s). I currently have one 45g, a 55g, 2x 29g tanks, and several 10g "feeder and starter tanks"

spread amongst these tanks are
10" red devil
14" pleco
5" green terror
3" pink convict
5" clown knife
5" African clawed frog
3" Malawi Eyebiter
3" Mbuna
3" Pictus Catfish
3" Bristlenose Pleco
2" Texas Cichlid
2" ZZ Flowerhorn
2" Jack Dempsy
30 feeder fish
3 breeding pairs of molly
3 breeding pairs of highfin sword tails

DO you think I should add a 72g bow front, or a 90g standard?

I can't have both, at least right now.
 
90 gallon, That list looks like its very crowded for the list of tanks you have...
 
Get the 90g, you're probably going to want to upgrade from the 72 anyway so might as well get the maximum size you can. :D
 
Well Basically how i'm doing things, my fish are going to be moving around until eventually I have the red devil, the green terror, the flowerhorn, the texas, the JD, the clown knife the Convict, and the bristlenose in the new tank.

That way my "big meanie fish" are all together so my gf has nothing more to complain about.

She wants to keep her common pleco and ACF together with her community fish which is fine with me.

I will be putting my mbuna and eyebiter in one of the other tanks so they don't tear much up anymore.

I have enough filtration to house my monsters, but IDK if I will ever have the space.
 
bigger is probably better with the amount of stock you plan on putting in?
 
I say get rid of all but maybe 1 or 2 of your "big meanie fish" and give it/them the 90. Even in 180 gallon, those fish would turn the tank into a warzone
