Allegan, MI
3 Discus
4 Angelfish
1 Black Ghost Knife
1 Peacock Spiny Eel
1 Senegal Polypterus
3 Denosonii Barbs
7 Boesemani Rainbowfish
1 Synodontis Ocellifer

Most are juvenile sizes except for 3 of the angels.

I'd really like to increase the numbers on all of them except the poly, the cat, and the knife.. but for now let's assume i will keep the number that I have.

They will be living in a 75 for a few months until I get a bigger tank. What tank size should I be looking at? I don't want anything that can't be moved by a couple guys and a dolly. Maybe a 220? Or can I do something a bit smaller?
 
Smallest...honestly you could do the 75g for awhile, till the BGK outgrows it. What I would do is get the 220g myou mentioned, and increase the stock of discus to 15 or even more.
 
haha that'd be awesome, but expensive. I'd be happy with 5 or so discus. 3 of them in a 40 breeder right now and they're picking on eachother pretty bad.

I guess the BGK is gonna be the biggest issue. Maybe I'll just get two 75's and split them up. It'd probably be cruel to keep the BGK in a 75 but hopefully in the coming years I can get my own place and get a monster tank. I just hate to get anything bigger than a 75 if I'm renting... I should be able to move a 75 by myself if I have a dolly.
 
U are going to need more discus... And the BGK will need a 100 gallon when he out grows the 75gallon..
