Need Ideas For My New Tank

[guppy_man]

hey i dont know if you read my other post but my auntie is giving me her 60 or 70gal tank not quite sure how many gals it is
anyway at first i was thinking of having lots of platies and cories in there and 1 pleco.

but then i got thinking "why not have something a bit different" i was thinking of having something that would be relativley easy to care for but colourful and doesnt grow that big, have you guys got any ideas.

i will have a few plants like java fern and amazon swords, so what you think?

Firemouths are nice.. they can also live with angel fish. I dont know what other chilids are compatable though.

take measurements of lengthxwidthxheight and post it because 60 gals-70gal can mean a big difference in fish
