Thanks. I was at the LFS yesterday getting some ideas. Definately going with some small tetras, the guy there suggested a couple types of gourami that were very pretty. I didn't really wanna do angels, but after being at the store yesterday and seeing how attentive they are I think I will add a couple.

The guy there said to cap your fish at about an inch per gallon. So 46 gal - rocks and gravel = about 40 gallons. SO not much more than 40 inches of fish when considering them fully grown. is this a good rule of thumb?
