Let's see your long and shallows

Never have had a long and shallow tank but I have entertained the thought periodically. I think a six foot tank filled 10 or 12 inches deep with a power head providing a fair current would be ideal for a jumper like swordtails. Sure would be cool to see them in something like a natural habitat. Overhanging terrestrial plants would add a nice touch along with an enclosed top to keep live prey insects inside. The possibilities are mind boggling. Archer fish, hatchetfish, certain killies and schooling jumpers like rainbow fish .
 
You guys make me want another tank! And I found a 6 gallon 20 inch tank that I think would be cool for a pair of mouthbrooding betta one of the fish store has in stock...not this paycheck though, rent is due. But next check, I hope the tank is still on sale.
