I have completely re done my 120 and will be making it a planted discus tank. In order for this to work I need to move around some fish so I was hoping you could help me with the arrangement. I have a 120 gallon, a 400 gallon, and might try to find room to set up another tank. I have a 6' 125 gallon and a 55 gallon but not sure where I can fit the 125. Anyways, below are the options I came up with. Let me know what you think.

Option 1

120 gallon tank
5 Discus
30 HarleyQuinn Rasboras
8 Clown Loaches (currently between 3"-9")

400 gallon tank
Black Arowana (currently 15")
5 Black Bar Silver Dollars
Hoplarchus Psittacus (True Parrot 7")
Green Terror (10" and extremely docile)
5 Geophagus Tapajos (currently 3")
Vieja Argentea (3")

125 or 55 gallon tank
Male Texas Cichlid (somewhat aggressive 9")
Female Festae 10"
They seem to have paired up


Option 2

120 gallon tank
5 Discus
30 HarleyQuinn Rasboras
5 Geophagus Tapajos (currently 3")

400 gallon tank
Black Arowana (currently 15")
5 Black Bar Silver Dollars
Hoplarchus Psittacus (True Parrot 7")
Male Texas Cichlid (somewhat aggressive 9")
Female Festae 10"
Vieja Argentea (3")
8 Clown Loaches (currently between 3"-9")


125 or 55 gallon tank
Green Terror (10" and extremely docile)
5 Geophagus Tapajos (currently 3")


Option 3

120 gallon tank
5 Discus
30 HarleyQuinn Rasboras
5 Geophagus Tapajos (currently 3")

400 gallon tank
Black Arowana (currently 15")
5 Black Bar Silver Dollars
Hoplarchus Psittacus (True Parrot 7")
Green Terror (10" and extremely docile)
8 Clown Loaches (currently between 3"-9")

I am also debating on just getting rid of the Geos and Green terror, although it took me a very long time to find the Geos. The Green Terror is also one of my most colorful fish but cant hang with the other SAs.

Suggestions? Comments? I'm just looking for some other feedback. Thanks
 
If the green terror is that pretty, you might be able to get some money for him. I also personally prefer geos, so thats my bias lol. But if you are doing a planted discus tank, do you really want geos in the tank digging about? I would go with option 1.
