Tank Rearranging

[ISteedman]

Need some suggestions on how to safely pair my fish with one and other. My current list includes.

20 gallon 24x12x16

1 beta

1 rope fish

1 common pleco (small)

2 random tetras

1 tiny guppy

3 cory cats

1 angel fish


120 gallon 24x24x48

1 common pleco

2 Pictus Cats

1 Green spotted puffer

1 red bellied pacu

6 rainbow sharks

2 bala sharks

1 angel fish


29 gallon 30x12x18

2 Jack Dempseys (breeding pair, picking up tomorrow 8-17-10 owner could no longer care for them, I know this tank may be too small but its all I had.)

? Jack Dempsey babies (coming with parents)


geting later this week

Crenicichla sp. "Venezuela" (pike Chiclid, Needs to go into the 120)

Obviously the Pacu and the Crenicichla need to be in the 120, will the Jack Dempsey pair be okay with them?
also anything that the Crenicichla can eat needs to be put in either the 29 or the 20.

also have an old 15 gallon sump aquarium that can be set back up as an aquarium if needed.

And yes I know the green spotted puffer isn't fresh water, but my roommate didn't know that when he got it 2 years ago... I'm in the process of setting up a 10 gallon tank to get him back into brackish water, (another thread)

Your pacu has no business in a 120 gallon tank either. There is a rather large tank purchase in your near future I presume?

yes, I know of my Pacus tank requirement, 300-500 gallon next september of 2011. Ill need an apartment/house with a basement to support the weight. I also have a inflatable pool if he is to large for the 120 before then.

Just looking for compatibility between my fish as they are now.

Also, forgot about the crayfish....

so in order to make room for the Crenicichla sp. "Venezuela", I was thinking about dividing them up like this, until the JD fry are big enough to not get eaten my mistake, and would like to grow the JD parents big enough to go into the 120 with the big boys, along with one of the plecos.

I see another 120 in my future......
