Im no good on stocking, but what is the literage of your tank, dimensions, have you cycled? Also will it be bare like pictures or are there plans in place to pad out? This may help on what type of things to put in there. Also do you have a heater and are there any types of fish to avoid? Are you looking for community or perhaps a cool species?

depending on what fish you put, the filter might not house enough bacteria to decontaminate the water properly. it looks pretty small for a 45 gallon tank.

you could have a big shoal of tetras like cardinals, 20 or more
then perhaps 2 angels as the centrepiece fish
lots of cories for the bottom, 10 to 20 depending on what kind. I'm now a fan of having lots of smaller fish of same species.

this would respect your amazon bio-tope i believe.

4 foot tank, that gives you alot of options.
I've never visited pakistan so im not too sure what you have available over there?
