Thats fine.. and glad to see your trying to relieve the bioload in your tanks. What have the parameters been in the past couple weeks?

The best advise I can give is do some research before you buy any fish in the future. Research, research,research....and more research. By now I'm sure you know you are grossely overstocked and most of the fish you have are going to get too big for the tanks you have and the tanks you are planning. Best of luck to you and your fish.

I would propose this:
10 gallon Restock with proper sized fish. Africans are not brackish and are not suited for a 10g in any way shape or forum
125gl lg cichlids (when you upgrade)
2 oscars 6''-8'' (oscars do better by themselves, two is not a good number unless you have a known pair and plan to breed.)
2 silver dollars 4'' tall (Silver dollars do better in groups add 1 or 2 more)
1 striped raphael 4'' (You could add 2 more raphs if you only stock 1 Oscar)
90g
2 jd's 6''-9''
1 blood parrot hybrid 1''
1 pictus cat 3''
2 pictus cats 4''-7''
1 chinese allergy eater huge 5''
42g
bumblebees
Maybe a few other african Mild tempered cichlids
Get rid of list
1 silver arrow 15''
1 pacu 4''
1 pleco 15''
3 flower horn 3''-5''
2 pleco's 6''
1 sleeper goby 7''
1 red jewled 4''
2 jewled 3''
frontosa
1 synodontis ocellifer 6''

This reminds me of having like 5 baby blood red parrots in a mere 20 gallon. Ah, back in teh days. For me, now it's a 60 gallon community with rainbows, corydoras and small fish. Plus a rack with 10gal's XD
