I need help figuring out the best way to split up my fish and also the best stocking plan when I get the new tank set up. Currently I have a 20 gallon tank and will either be replacing it with a 55 gallon or adding the 55 gallon along with it soon. Basically, I'm not sure if I have room for both tanks but if I do I want to keep both.
Here is the current stock (Before I list these, I already know it is overstocked. That is the purpose for getting the bigger tank which will be set up within about a month.):
5 Glowlight Tetras
3 Zebra Danios
2 Bolivian Rams
5 Albino Cories
1 Bulldog/Rubber Lip Pleco
Ok so obviously if I am just replacing the tank, all of these guys are moving over to the 55 gallon. If I were to do that, how many more fish could I fit in there? I love dwarf cichlids and really wanted to add some Apistogrammas or Kribensis to my tank (this is dependent on whether or not they would get along with my current stock but from what I read, they should.) I also want to add at least 2 more Zebra Danios to keep them happy and would love to get some Yoyo loaches but I'm not sure if i can get all of these in just the 1 tank.
If I find enough room and keep both tanks, which of these guys should move to the bigger one? I want to keep some bottom feeders in the 20 gallon obviously and either split up the tetras or danios. I also know for certain that I want to move the rams to the 55 gallon either way. And also keep in mind the fish I mentioned above that I would like to add. What would be my best solution here?
