Angels would look really cool in there. Maybe a group of pearl gouramis?

You could put a couple of pairs of kribs in there and add maybe a dozen Congo tetras as midlevel schooling fish. A few upside down catfish could be your bottom feeders.

You don't want to add the kribs separately because they can be very territorial. I would suggest getting all four at once and letting them pair up on their own. Be sure to provide several caves for them to spawn in and plenty of cover.

I don't think there are any freshwater gobies, only brackish and [acronym:74aa9df5a9="Saltwater"]SW[/acronym:74aa9df5a9].
