Yeah doesn't sloping front to back add depth, btw how do you think it would look if I made a hill sort of thing for the branches. I've seen many people do it and it looks amazing.

You should do Odessa Barbs, they don't swim side to side as much as most danios and I think will appreciate your tank footprint. Plus their colors are awesome!
