My entire stock right now is just of tropical, but I want another large tank to try with goldfish

You could always sell those yellow fish in your 55g and get 4-5 goldfish.

durbkat those yellow fish are yellow lab cichlids and are great so i doubt he would want to sell them

Tough question. I now have a 30gal cold water and a 20gal planted tank. The 30 will soon be moved to a 90gal cold water, the 30 will have a pair of parrots and the planted will stay planted. Used to have a reef tank and koi pond. Enjoyed the koi pond the most. Couldn't move it when I sold the house so I also gave the new owners the reef tank too. Now I somehow have to talk the wife into giving up the backyard so I can do another koi pond. Like to try a pico reef too.

I don't believe you can have parrot fish in a 30g because I was told on here that you could only have 1 in a 55g because of how big they got.

Yes, you are right. The 30 will be temporary while they are small. The stand for the 90 will have room on the bottom for a second 90 (tall stand made for this purpose). Just doing one at a time because of funds and time constraints.
