Hello Aquarium Advice!
Some friends and I are currently in the processing of building a 75 gallon bottomless aquarium like the ones you see on youtube YouTube - My unusual aquarium. We plan on ours having a larger pool and a taller tower. The bottom pool is to be about 4x2x1 feet and the tower about 3 feet (2 feet sticking out of the water).
This is to be a community aquarium--both in terms of the fish in it and that our living community will be caring for it. I would like it to be understocked and sustainable for the long term (so no huge fish that will eventually outgrow the tank). Hopefully the fish in it will be well-balanced so some are happy inhabiting the bottom pool area and others enjoy the tall tower.
The only thing we are sure we want is a large school of zebra danios. Everything else is open. Could you please provide stocking suggestions? I have decent fish experience--but I have never tackled a tank this large! A diverse, peaceful tank would be ideal. I was thinking some danios, Boesemani Rainbows, and otocinclus would be nice, but I don't know how many of each fish would be good--AqAdvisor is only helpful to a degree.
Please give me whatever stocking suggestions you have, and keep in mind the bottom pool of the tank is open, so no jumping fish.
Thank you all!
