need a little help?

Question

alright heres the deal i've been doing aquariums for some years now just got a new one and i'm trying to find out if anyone has had trouble with these types of fish in the same tank as tankmates i currently have 2 anglefish,1 dojo loach,2 fruit tetras,2 large gold guamies,1 kissing guarmie,1dwarf guarmie,2 ropefish,1knifefish,1 fantail goldfish,1black moore,2mollies,1sunset platty,1 pleco,1 corydora,2 golden barbs,2tiger barbs,and 1 female guppy they were in a 40 gallon but i wanted to make them a little more comfy so i got a 55 gallon and i added a few from another tank i just want to know if i'm in for any surprises or what any help is appreciated thanks

once again thank you for all your help but what i was asking is how everyone would interact in a new surrounding i know alot of my fish are wierd being together but they do not fight amongst themselves i either bought them when they were young or raised them from young and they do not go after my other fish i appreciate everyones help that has helped me but if anyone can give me information as to if its would be a bad idea to take them from the tank there already in and seem happy in to a larger tank please leave a reply i'm not sure if they would be territorial after the transaction or if everything would stay the same i cant split them or put them in another tank because i dont have one and the one there in is getting traded to get the 55

Answer 1

Sounds a little overcrowded, I would put the blackmoor and the fantail goldfish in a separate tank as they are really cold water fish. The Tiger bars are liable to attack any long finned fish like the guppy and the Angel fish may be aggressive towards the gouramis and vice versa. I would not add any more fish to this aquarium.
I own a pet and aquatic store in the UK

Answer 2

Personally, I would put the black moore and fantail back in the 40 gallon, along with the pleco. Just be sure to have a really good filter in there.
It isn't the best idea to keep community with semi aggressive, if you could afford buy another 40-55 gallon and divide up the fish.
Have in the larger tank with good filtration (55 gallon )
-2 angelfish
-1 dojo loach
-1 kissing gourami
-2 large gold gouramis
-2 ropefish
-1 knifefish

Then in the other tank (40 gallon or 55 gallon)
-2 fruit tetras
-1 dwarf gourami
-2 mollies
-1 sunset platy
-1 corydoras catfish
-2 golden barbs
-2 tiger barbs
-1 female guppy
Along with this mixture I would get 3 more corydoras of the same species and 1 more female guppy. Then depending on the type of mollies you have and corydoras, if space allows it 2 more of each barb.

Hope This Helps!!!

Answer 3

You will likely see quite a bit of aggression between the Angels and the Gouramis. Also, that many Gouramis in such a small space is going to lead to a lot of territorial disputes. Another problem is that Goldfish are coldwater fish, but everything else in that tank is tropical. When coldwater fish are put in warm water, their metabolism speeds up. This leads to a shortened lifespan. Separate the Goldfish into a 20+ gallon tank. You should also know that the Pleco and Kifefish will both get about 2 feet, the Gold and Kissing Gouramis will get about a foot long, and the Tiger Barbs are going to terrorize the Angelfish with their constant nipping. You have a lot of research to do to fix this disaster, and I suggest you start ASAP.

Answer 4

yeah even in a 55 gal all those fish are pretty crowded. a pleco alone grows up to 18 inches. I would keep the 40 gal and split the fish up between the two tanks. id keep the gourami's ropefish knife fish barbs and pleco in the 55b and the rst in the 40. its still not really enough room for all those fish in those sized tanks but with the given situation i guess that would be the best bet. im more familiar with marine species so i may not be right on target with how to split them up but the main point is def utilize all 90 gallons of space you have available.

Answer 5

Tiger barbs, angelfish. and loaches are semi-agressive fish. Mollies, guamies, tetras, goldfish, platys, and guppies are community fish. Semi-agressive and community fish should not be tank mates. Also, goldfish are quite dirty and require different water conditions than other tropical fish. Goldfish like cooler water and higher PH. Also they produce a lot of amonia which is not good for your angelfish or mollies.
