PLEASE EXPERIENCED FISHKEEPERS...
I was given a 30 gallon extra tall aquarium and would like some suggestions about which fish I should transfer... and HOW?
In my 75 gallon I have 1 red devil (7 in), 1 Gold Severum (4 in - mate died), 2 clown loaches (6 & 3 in, 2 whiptail catfish (4 & 3 in), 2 rescue blood parrots (5 & 3 in) growth stunted - smaller was in hospital tank until recently, and I am considering rescuing a Tin Foil Barb (probably growth stunted 5 in) & a Single Kissing Gourami. All fish except those I mentioned I am considering rescuing have been housed together in my 75 gallon for at least 10 weeks. BTW, the rescue fish were / are all in a 10 - 20 gallon AND not the tank I inherited.
The tank size is 24 high, 24 long and 12 wide.Is the 30 gallon enough for the devil if he is housed alone (the filter is an eclipse 30-60 gallon)?Should I add mates? Put the barbs, severums, gouramis together?
Can I use water from my other tank for setup? Expect Nitr cycle?

I would think the 30 would be fine for the devil personally, but I wouldn't add any other fish to that. As I'm sure you realize, you have a lot of water with a little real estate on the bottom. If you move some of the gravel from the 75 to the 30 and also some water over, I wouldn't expect enough of an ammonia spike to worry the devil significantly.
The two blood parrots would do ok in the 30 instead of the devil I would think.
