Ok so here we go, we all love to spend money and make our tanks look as best they can, so here is a chance for anyone who wants to, to have some fun and dream. Your mission should you choose to accept it is to help me design and stock my tanks. The catch is, there will be fish listed for each tank, try to keep them in that tank if at all possible. So heres the list, and yes I actually own all these tanks.

10gal
Empty

10gal #2
Empty (will be permanent QT/Hospital tank)

20gal High
Currently stocked with 5 long fin zebras, 5 black skirt tetras, and some dwarf corys (lost track of how many started with 5 but I think I have lost a few)

20gal Long
Empty I was thinking of this as a divided invert tank and also a plant grow out tank. The inverts would love all the plants and this would allow me a place to keep plants and grow out others for addition to other "show" tanks in the house, but these are just thoughts for now, thou I have been wanting to do some shrimp thus the dividing of the tank to prevent inter breeding.

33gal Long
Empty, This WILL be a river themed tank with a fast moving current
Current stock idea is the long fin zebras from the 20 and prob up it to 7, 7 white cloud mountain minnows, and some (3-5) hillstream loaches or similar fish of the same family. Algae control to be done via nerite snails after establishment of the tank.

37gal #1
Empty Was thinking of doing a couple pairs of Bolivian Rams but not sure.

37gal #2
Empty (needs a reseal so this will be a bit) Was thinking angels but not sure

40gal hex FRONT with a flat back, acrylic tank.
Empty I was thinking of making this a barb tank but have also thought about doing a blackwater type tank with cardinal tetras, lemon tetras, and the such, but not sure on this at all.

75gal #1
In use Current stock is 15 long fin serpe tetras, 4 albino cory cats (to be upped to 10 eventually), 5 green cory cats, and a planned addition of rainbowfish both bosemanI and tourquise (and if I feel led to, the red ones as well lol). Most likely a pleco will join the fun in this tank as well.

75gal #2
Empty NO idea on this one so far.

The only planted tank currently is 75gal #1 however I would like to eventually plant all my tanks. Please feel free to suggest changes or ideas for fish, lighting, substrate (I have not yet used sand but would love to), plants, and filtration.

Some fish I have wanted to keep but don't know where to put them would be

Ghost catfish
Columbian tetras
KhulI loaches
Bloodfin tetras
Possibly Banjo catfish
Possibly an eel type (ie tire track or similar)

I am always open to suggestions and learning so Here is it, have some fun with it. I know I have been.

Also for the fish I do not mind going out and having to hunt to find the fish I need or want, however I do not plan on spending hundreds on a single fish (yeah that means no zebra plecos) Other than that happy stocking and dreaming!

Personally here's what I would do (including all of the fish/inverts you mentioned already)

10 gallon #1
Shrimp and plants (from the 20L)

10 gallon #2
Option 1: Keep as a QT tank

Option 2: Turn 20h into QT tank and turn this into a divided betta tank

20 Gallon High
Option 1:
-8 Black skirt tetras
-2 Platy
-1 Mystery Snail
-3 Sparkling gourami (or 1 honey gourami)

Option 2: Turn into a QT

20 Gallon Long
Option 1:
-Move all corys from 20L into this tank and up the school to 10 (dependent upon type of cory)
-6 Bloodfin tetra
-1 DG

33 Gallon Long
Love the idea you listed already!

37 Gallon #1
Neon tetra species tank

37 Gallon #2
-Pair of rams
-6 Lemon tetras
-6 Pygmy Cory cats
-1 BN pleco

40 Gallon Hex
Tiger Barb species tank

75 Gallon #1
Love the idea and current stock already I would just definitely add more rainbows and corys

75 Gallon #2
Option 1:
African Cichlid tank

Option 2:
Freshwater Community
-2 Angels
-10 KuhilI loaches
-6 Glass Catfish
-10 Bloodfin Tetra
-10 Odessa Barb
-1 Clown pleco
-3 Molly (or swordtails or platy)
-1 Krib
-10 Bloodfin tetra
-1 Opaline gourami

Just some ideas as to what I would do if I had all those tanks But I'd probably turn one of the 75s into saltwater

For your 10 gallon, you could use black sand, a few flowy plants like this one in the middle:

of different heights, and put a betta, a snail, and some shrimp.

As for the others, I'm not sure. I'll think about it.
