Some nice wild Altum angels would do REALLY well in that tank. Tall tanks always work well for those, due to their long finnage. I'd do 3 altum angels, 6 bleeding heart tetras, 1 gold nugget pleco, 3 glass catfish, 2 german blue rams, 2 marble hatchetfish, etc.

I'm sure there is a pet store around you somewhere that does FW fish. They can generally order you anything you want. Otherwise, the site run by two doctors has all those fish.

And then, of course you'll need a few nice live plants and some driftwood.

Just about any FW store can order them. However, your tank is not NEARLY large enough. They can be extremely hard to keep, and require a lot of experience and patience. DO NOT PUT ONE IN YOUR 55 HEX. WAYYYYYYYYYYY too small a tank.

Do some research, get some experience, and a MUCH larger tank (needs to be BIG and rectangular) and maybe get one someday!

think I have the same tank as you. I'm really curious to see how yours comes out b/c I wanted to go salt water but decided on fs for my first tank. Is that some kind of special sand and where did you buy it? once you get some fish and decor in pictures would be great.
