Your 20g and 15g sections are going to be way too small to hold most of those fish.
  • 2x Keyholes + 2x - Altums in a space that is going to be.....16-20 inches?
  • When I had adult Congo tetras in my 48" 75g tank they seemed cramped.

Yes I have considered the angels and decided against them and the congos I have found a rare loach known as a panda loach and will create a 20 gallon hillstream

Amazon puffers need way more than 15 gallons... I had mine in a 55g and they used all over it. They are very active hunters and move constantly like little humming birds.

Yes I have decided against all of the options for a different selection altogether 2 23 gallon areas one a hillstream biotope and the other a single cichlid species e.g a female salvini given the dimensions are close to a cube it will look quite good
