I have a school of those in my 75 the yellow is a great contrast, and there's also a subtle bit of red on the dorsal fin that will help tie them all together, as well as the red eye
I agree, I try to keep my as close to biotope as possible. I would do 20 full grown penguins.
I vote for Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis, you have enough red in the tank with all the geos. I think this would be a better contrast in a large school, plus can't beat the red eyes!

Fluval fx5 or a sump imo
What about 2x fuval 406's. I can get two for a steal from a buddy.
I had two 405's on a tank with a couple of Oscars and they couldn't keep up with the bioload. I'd use the FX/5 or a large wet/dry without a overflow box, I would drill the tank if your going that route.
Especially with geos that will be turning massive amounts of junk from the sand as they sift through it, good point
You can do that, would probably be helpful to have two for cleaning, as you can alternate which one gets cleaned so that you're not cleaning out all your media at one time
Might wanna throw a HOB on it for surface movement unless you plan on adding a *gulp* air stone haha

Yeah, the main issue I had with my 405 (before the decided it hated me and started leaking) was that the outtake sits fairly low into the tank and I didn't get the surface movement i needed, so I had added on a magnum HOT canister (HOB canister) and that helped, except now I have an old second-hand AQ110 on it since my fluval went AWOL
what are ya thinking decor wise? show tank?
Yes this will be a show tank. Left side will have rock and slate driftwood throughout. Silk plants with dark sand substrate.
Here is where I buy all my stumps, he's always got amazing pieces and will even customize and age pieces to fit your application.

Thanks for the heads up! I get my driftwood straight out of lake manchac. Hit it with the pressure washer and then boil it in the crawfish pot. Only cost me gas money for the boat and pressure washer. Lol!
Well then it's time to start hooking up your friends!
