Since I'll be moving in about a month, I've decided I need to thin the stock so the whole process won't turn out to be a nightmare. I'm not moving far away, but if I'd keep all of my fish, I'd have to use 3 or 4 large buckets plus a couple bags for my bettas. And that many buckets would be a huge hassle for me, since I won't have a lot of help and the move will have to be done in one day.

Here's what my tanks were setup like:
--- 25 gallon - 13+ Platies & 3 Peppered Cories
--- 10 gallon - 1 Platy, 7 Harlequin Rasboras & 2 ADF
--- 10 gallon - divided for 2 Bettas

Here's what I'm selling to a local fish store:
--- 12 Platies
--- 7 Harlequin Rasboras

After I sell the fish I'll have just the two 10 gallons running(for now). The divided Betta tank will stay the same with the exception of a few added ghost shrimp, if they survive.
As for the other 10 gallon tank:
--- 2 Platies(only females this time
--- 3 Peppered Cories
--- 2 African Dwarf Frogs
--- maybe some ghost shrimp


As I stated above, there is a possibility that I will be able to set up the 25 gallon once I'm moved into the new place. But the 25 would definitely have to be set up in the basement, which has no heat. So if I can set it up, I'll be doing a cool water tank. Probably with US-native Darters, White Clouds, Cories, or small Sunfish. Not sure yet which fish will work best, but I have some time to figure that out. I'll most likely start a new thread to get some advise about that.
