Im currently running 3 tanks. Im almost done stocking all but am wondering if I should move any fish around and need some suggestions on what else to do with my 55.

Heres my 10 - 1 yoyo loach, 1 ancistrus pleco and 7 neon tetras. I mainly got the loach because I had a snail outbreak and its been doing well on keeping the population low. Tank has a gravel substrate, undergravel filter and a aquatech 5-15 HOB

My 20 - 4 zebra danios (plan on getting 1 more to complete the school), 5 black phantom tetras, 3 aeneus corrys and 1 creamsicle sailfin molly. The molly is in there because i dont know what to do with it, it was an impulse buy when we first got our 10 a while ago before i actually did my research.....want to get rid of it because it currently doesnt fit anything. Tank has a gravel substrate, undergravel filter and 2 aquatech 5-15 HOBs.

My 55 - 7 green tiger barbs, 7 blk ruby barbs, 3 julii corys, 1 peppered cory, 1 clown pleco. Its sand substrate, has 2 large chunks of driftwood as well as lots of hiding places and I have 2 aquaclear 70s.

My 55 isnt done, im not sure what to add. I do want an algae eater, another pleco perhaps but I dont want one that will get huge. I was thinking about adding a blue lobster?? And still need to put something on top level. Which i thought about moving the danios over then I have some room in my 20 to add a pleco, a snail eater and something on top?

Thanks in advance, if i figure out how to post pics Ill put up my tanks
 
ok.. hmm. Let me see. I've got a few suggestions so let me get those out and I'll see if I can make sense of it too.

First off I don't think anything in your 10 gal can stay.. I would suggest moving the neons, IMO a 10 gal is too small for them. Though they are small fish , they are really active. I have a school in a 20 and they def make use of the space!

Loaches like company and a 10 gal is too small. You need to add more. I would suggest 3 or 4.

Your pleco I believe is going to get about 9 inches long which is also way too big for a 10 gal.

So, I hope someone else can chime in on this.. I think this is a good arrangement given what you have but I know a limited amount about corys and loaches so I`m not 100%.

10 gal - molly, clown pleco, I know 10 gal isn't ideal for a molly but I`m not sure if there is room in the 20. The clown pleco is only going to get 3.5 inches and I think it`s the only bottom dweller you have Id keep in here because it can be alone and it would be pretty comfy. I would think about getting a piece of drift wood for him too in this tank

20 - 5 danio, 5 black phantom and the 7 neons. all 7 corys to I think

55 gal - 7 tiger barbs, 7 ruby barbs, ancistrus pleco and put the loach here and add a couple more to the group.

I don`t think I missed anyone.. lol.
