I'd always go for natural decoration rather than ornaments, so I'd replace both ornaments with more wood. Dot some Vallis along the back and randomly through the tank - it can look very effective.

I would change the substrate. I don't mind the colored stuff, but I don't really like the look of it when there are multiple colors like that (don't mind natural colors that are mixed, just the blues, red, etc).
I'd either change it to a more natural color substrate or use just a single color one.

I would like a few quite big fish in the tank,
Overall i want it to be a very colourful tank, I am getting some slate for it, And i also have aquite a lot of plants in my 2ft tank which i am going to move in the new tank soon, i have got quite a lot of Anacharis growing so going to trim it and plants some in the gravel, what are your opinions on hair grass? also i have taken the nemo out...

I am after some more bogwood too if anyone has any for sale?

thanks jamie

Agreed with the natural look, but it is your tank, so you do what makes you happy.

Anyways, if you want color, I would go with Cichlids, as they vary in color a great deal.

Besides you tank size looks very nice for a Cichlids tank, other than if you want to get Cichlids you would have to add more hiding places like caves and what not.

Cichlids like tank that are more long than tall. They do not utilize much more that a foot or so above the substrate, that is why I said you tank looks like a nice size for Cichlids.

But with your current tank mates, Cichlids would probably not be the best for them, but it was just a thought to consider.
