These are not my fish, but my advice to the owner is welcome, so I've come here for help from you good people. I know absolutely nothing about cichlids or their care. There's 5 total tanks in the house (2 are five-gallons and another is a 20-gallon, which are all too small for the listed fish so they're omitted) and my roommate would like to keep as many fish as possible. The polar blue parrots are highest on the priority list. We're trying to figure out which fish to put in which tanks in order to give the best quality of life, and then try to rehome any that don't fit into any good setup. These are the current tanks and inhabitants.
30 gallon tank with: 4 cory catfish and 1 tiger loach, 1 juvenile pictus catfish, 2 yellow lab cichlids (male and female), 1 male kribensis cichlid, and 4 polar blue parrot cichlids (2 male, 2 female).
55 gallon corner tall tank with: 1 adult male Chinese algae eater, 1 adult (sex unknown) striped Raphael catfish, 1 male demasoni cichlid.
A friend has a 50-gallon long that they're willing to donate to the cause, which opens new options.
I humbly ask for help figuring out which fish should go where, and also what the water parameters should be for each tank given that there's cichlids from different parts of the world and have different needs, what the decorations should be, and which fish need to go.
