Mind, these are my opinions on your tanks.

72g: too much bottom dwellers; others are ok but you may want to re think your bottom fishes.
20g: that is a lot for a 20. Where are you planning on putting the angels when they are older? Hopefully not the 72g. And the discus? It probably can go in the 72g but I think they prefer to school so that will be a problem. I think the 20 is too small of a footprint for 4 rams. Is this also your quarantine tank?
10g: darios will probably eat some shrimps, even if you have a divider. With a divider, tank will be even smaller for the darios.
28g: don't know about the flounder but if it doesn't get big and eat shrimps, looks fine.

Hopefully this helps you out. I'm just worried about the 20g and 72g because of what I listed. Remember, just don't count the fishes but where they like to swim/rest because you don't want to crowded your tank.
 
i agree for the 72G, im selling 2 of the schools, and making 1 bigger school

the breeding pair of angels will go in a diff. tank, and the babies will go in the 72G>:)

the 20G is not a quarantine currently, it used to be..................

the discus will be sold as im not doing discus for at least 1 year

the point of the RCS is to produce live food for the dario darios, they will eat the babies(not all, a few)

the flounder gets 5", but is always still, or buried in the sand, won't eat shrimps, might eat 1 or 2 in the future(6 months+), but all else looks fine.

need to get rid of quite a few of bottom dwellers in the 72G

and for the rams, I'll be selling 2 once i find a male



for bottom dwellers, would this be better

6 ??? corys
4 yoyo loaches
and the 2 SAEs?
 
usually with dwarf cichlids trios dont work. the odd one out gets killied so id only keep a pair of rams unless 1 female is going in another tank.
 
thx, i do know that, i like to let the male choose, and then i remove/transfer the extra female, i find this way to be more efficient and quicker for forming pairs;)
 
The angels might make the rasboras food if you're keeping them. Are you planning on keeping the baby angels in the tank until they pair off or as their permanent home? If you sell the schools and buy another big school, isn't it the same as the old schools you already have? Hopefully you're quarantining your fish separately from when you got them because they will give each other whatever they are carrying, if they have anything. It can also spread to your other fishes. Yes, that does sound better for the bottom of the 72g.

no, actually, they do great together, basically, the rule is that if it is fast and small enough, it should be fine with angels/discus. The ones that the angels ate were probably smaller than the rest or they wandered off from the school, as now i only see 2" rasboras, no more 1.5" ones;)



I'm keeping the angels in the 72G until they pair off, then they will go into separate tanks, and after the 1st 2 batches, they will be sold;)

for the corys

since i have 12, I was going to sell 2 schools, and keep only 1 school of 6, so i have 1/2 the amount of fish down there;)

OR maybe, I will make the school of 6 smaller corys, keep 12 schoolers, and get 12 hatchetfish.
 
Well I hope you have a lot of tanks that can hold the angel pairs and have good stock. A 72g sounds too crowded even with the angels not pairing of yet. Ok so you're not trying to breed the best angels since you said you're just getting two batches then selling? Keep 2 or 3 of your best pair then work on your own line using them. Just keep the 6 large corys. Don't add anymore schoolers since you are planning on adding the angels. Good luck with your breeding. Not a big fan of angels myself though. Weird looking fishes:)
 
I love angels;)

but everybody loves diff. fish, as u love killies it seems, i like them, but not as much;)


okay, maybe i'll try the new idea

I want to mix the new pairs up

to create a mix of ghost platinum blue philiphine blue angels with the german blue angels;) they would look awesome.

i will create a updated list of future stock eventually, but after i get the major probs. solved

6 large corys? i think im going to keep only smaller ones, and maybe make it 8?

im really lookign for sterbais under $4 each.
 
if i were you id keep afgazzi or whatever corys. theyre expensive but eventually if you breed them you could make alot of money
