I f u have anything bigger than a 30 u can get Cichlids. They are probly the Most interesting thing in the Fw world. Most people dont keep Guppies U know. fw tanks are Like hundreds of Dollars cheaper, You can have more in a tank, And the Maintenence is Much Less. You can go like 6 mo's without cleaning and still have perfect levels if u do water changes.

Check out 'Aquarium Designs: Inspired by Nature', it has some of the nicest freshwater aquariums i've ever seen. And the pictures of the tanks contain no fish. Setting up a freshwater plant tank in the proper way, makes it incredibly gorgeous, even without fish. Much like a well-designed reef tank is gorgeous w/o fish, using the fish to compliment the reef rather than vice versa. And setting up a freshwater plant tank takes significantly less time, maintenance, and especially MONEY than the equivalent reef system. I plan to have both in my future home. I like salt better, but there are a few freshwater tanks out there i'd take over most marine tanks.

I would have to agree with MORAYM. there is a whole art to the freshwater planted tank. diffrent substrates diffrent lighting but if you want to check out some great examples and a little advice on the freshwater planted tank there happens to be a really good column in tropical fish hobbyist written by rhonda wilson. This chick goes in depth on the planted tank and helps you along the process. I am going to set up a freshwater planted tank myself soon. Good luck with it.
