Hi,
I think you're planning to place too many species in your tanks and IMHO the setups are not proper. You could try of course with these setups as you have empty tanks to move fishes if necessary, but I do not give a big chance to such configurations.
First 20 gallon tanks - A. cacatuoides 1+3 is good setup, but not with A. borelli as they would be dominated and terrorized by cacs. I would rather put inside 1+3 cacs with no other dwarf cichlids.
Second 20 gallon tanks - it's a risky setup but could work out as A. viejita and A. agassizii have similar temper. Good aquarium layout will be needed and a little bit of luck, but you could try with 1+2 A. viejita and a pair or 1+2 A. agassizii.
10 gallon tank - it's not proper for A. cacatuoides 1+1 and A. hongsloi 1+1... but it's good for A. borelli pair or 1+2.
Good lack with your arrangements anyway!
Chris
