I am sorry i should know this by now but i keep forgetting. Could you add the size of the different tanks?

However I can say this now.
Tank 1: need to know size. You might be over stocking it. Severums are not schooling but rather territorial fish.
Tank 2: Sounds good
tank 3: sounds good.
tank 4: The black ghost would eventually eat the Betta when it grows larger but you would need to move it to another tank as it grows so that might not be a problem.

Ok. That was the one I needed the measuremnt for most.

I would not keep more than max 2 pairs of severum in it. Prefrable just one to give them room to form a territory and breed.

Ok now my 20 gal has
1 Black ghost
1 Silver Dollar
5 Blackskirts
2 blue gouramis
1 white gourami
5 goldfish (shubunkin, redcap, Black moor, 2 fantails)
2 white clouds
2 zebra danios
2 plattys
The fish get along fine but i was curious would it be safe to get 2 more 3 inch black ghosts which will go into my oscar tank when bigger and possibly some sort of bottom feeder?

William

Maybe but the black ghosts would eat some of those fish when they grow a little larger.

Is it bad to keep a 2 inch black moor with a siamese fighter because they are together and are doing fine but i was curious because the black moor didnt take well to the warm water with the new set up so i thought id keep him in coldwater

They are better kept in different temperatures. Especially since Betta fish likes rather high temperature.
