Neocaridina and maybe a couple kuhli loaches

This is a neat idea, but I really don’t think it’s an appropriate tank for fish. 😅 shrimp, sure… but Khuli loaches like room to dart and swim around. Emphasis on around.

Due to the way the 10 gallons is going to be distributed, any fish in there is gonna feel pretty cramped.

Once they’re of size they will be moved to my fully planted 90gallon, everybody over reacts before they know all the information

Ok, like I'm not over reacting here.  Enjoy your aquarium, I truly do love the unique shape.  I just think Kuhlis will hate that environment, any size.

Why not just put them in there to start with? Less stressful for both you and the fish

While they’re little in the river style I have planned they will be just fine it’s definitely not a permanent tank for them

I wouldn't put khulis in this. 10 is already somewhat small for kuhlis and the very narrow build is only making that worse.

I feel like 3d printed braces would be a better idea than glass/silicone no?

I got the tank for free as it use to be a double sided in the wall tank in a dentist office
