The model you're showing looks like a boat, complete with a deck. Is that what the Ark was supposed to look like? "Teiva" means "box". Indeed, in the Epic of Gilgamesh it seems to be a simple cube, with many more than three stories. The Torah version is a very long and thin box, with (it's not completely clear) a roof sloped on two sides or all four, coming to a long peak or a point. The only feature that could be seen from the outside would be the door and the "tzohar," whatever that might be- a window, a hatch, something. It didn't have to sail; it just had to float.

Surely all the floors in the ark were filled to the brim with fish, specifically carp. After all, we have all heard of a multistorey carp ark!
Har har, but of course there were no fish on the Ark.
