A great book I read a while back called "Underwater Gardens: Aquarium Designs Inspired By Nature" I think would really help you out. They go through the complete set-up of different environments where freshwater fish live.

If you do end up deciding on a planted tank... for these tanks, the Takashi Amano books are the authority. I've got one of them and the illustrations are terrific!
