Let's take it a step further ...how would you go about decorating it?
I'd heavily plant with soil / dirt and PFS with some gravel on the surface, accented with fairly large river rocks. Then I'd do real slate caves (perfect excuse to practice the trade!). Find actual tree roots for DW ... give it that mangrove tree look.

To start with ... 10 each of the Barbs in my signature, Maybe 2-3 RTS Maybe try a Rainbow Shark or two.

Plus
10 Striped Barbs
10 Clown Barbs
10 Spanner / T-Barbs
10 Arulius Barbs
10 Snakeskin Barbs
10 African Banded Barbs

Now the question would be ... could I also do
30 Zebra Danios
30 Neon Tetras
30 Cardinal Tetras
20 Serpae tetras
10 Ottos (500 gal around where I live is bound to have tons of BA .. assuming the RTS/RBS don't kill em first)

Yep ... Probably looking at least at 2x Fluval fx5's.
A few heaters .. 5 large Airstones, and at least one good powerhead for that extra bit of current.

haha probably not. once everybody started breeding only a couple of fish would be left, but itd be cool to have that many fish together.
