I am moving, and I have a Dilemma

I am moving, and we are planning a tank upgrade within a few months (120g), and I was wondering, how long I could keep a Leopard Wrasse, Two Ocellaris Clownfish, and a Blenny in a 10g w/ Live Rock, Live Sand. I don't know if we'll be breaking down the tank completely, ....I need help, please!

It may be a tough decision to make, but I'd suggest finding homes for them and starting over; maybe a local club member with a larger tank might be willing to hold them for you?

Thats a HUGE bioload for a 10 gallon to keep them in for a few months. Especially if your wrasse eats as much as mine does, plus a 10 is too small for a wrasse for an extended amount of time anyways...I'd say the chances of stressing out the live stock are too high. And +1 on seeing if someone in the hobby or an LFS could hold them for you instead.

Probably not a great idea. I'd seek another solution if at all possible.
