55g biotope: what would you do?

[GallonsOfFun]

Asking because this may be a possibility for me soon, but if you could create any type of biotope in a 55 gallon aquarium (freshwater only), what would it be and what would you stock it with?

I would do an amazon Biotope and get a bunch a branch Manzanita wood and plant some Vals and throw some indian almond leaves in. A huge school of cardinal tetras would be prime along with 4-5 wild color angels with a cool plec and a good sized group of corys.

Sounds very cool and was thinking something similar myself! Only annoying part about tanks like that is that the Angels would be after your tetras!

I would probably go Asian with a few cherry barbs, large school some type of rasboras, loaches (kuhlis!), maybe some sort of gourami for a centerpiece.
