46 gal diamond shaped for the corner. Beautiful tank and stand finished in oak. Got all the filters, heater, lights, hood etc.

So far all I have done is fill it and taking a water sample in today to have it tested before I buy some goldfish to get the cycle going. I am doing freshwater. I made the stupid mistake of buying a neutral colored rock and let's just say that with the oak finish it is less than what I hoped for. I'll probably get some bright colored gravel to sprimkle around the top to give it more color.

I have a couple of questions.

Fish- I am leaning to Jack Dempseys and oscars and other mid agressive fish. I want fish that get big and look cool, but I want a lot of variety as well. Along with maybe an eel or lobster. Maybe some sort of shark?


Decor- I am looking at ships, planes, castles, and rock formations. As far as plants I'm kinda torn between fake and live.

I haven't had a aquarium since I was about 13(18 yrs ago) so I am a little lost.

I want something that's bright, vibrant, beautiful, and relatively low maintenance.


I am open to any suggestions.

Thanks
