get a nice pair of nandopsis salvini. Awesoem fish. Quite aggressive but stunning colours. If you can find them grammodes are awesome. Quite hard to get hold of, and aggressive but again bloody awesome looking fish if you can find a decent specimen

Is your bedroom upstairs? coz a tank that size is a quarter of a ton of water plus tank and stand and contents, just be careful

I would love a large tank of clown loaches or even rare Piranhas, fill it with straight vallis or onion bulbs and with a dim light for Piranhas if its deep enough it will look like a river bed, green at the top and darker towards the bottom like a real slice of their natural environment (maybe I will change my tropical tank )

blue dempseys are awful. Most are genetically buggered. Look at mid sized cichlids, a pair of fish up to 8 inch will be fine. Maybe blue acara, green terrors etc

Don't bother with blue acaras. Much nicer fish available that are just as easy to keep. Green terrors are similar to blue acaras, but are much better looking, have a gorgeous yellow or red edging to their fins
