So I had a small tank which was nice but I somewhat expectedly acquired a new, much larger one:

it isnt quite finished yet but I am very happy with it so far
 
Looks nice! I'd post some more of mine, but at the moment they all look the same as before.
 
Here's a couple of my tank not the best of pics but I'll put some more up when I get the chance

Wow Bassboi, that last tank looks like it will be very very nice! How many US gallons is it?
 
Sweet! What stock do you have planned?

Might I suggest Angels and Pearl Gouramis due to the height?

I've been told that Angels go well with Pearl Gouramis. Both appreciate similar water parameters. Mollies like a little aquarium salt in their water although they can do fine without too. Platies might be a better option than Mollies since they're more colorful.

Three Spot Gouramis aka Blue, Opaline, Gold & Lavender Gouramis also work well with Angels. You could add a trio of 1 male & 2 or more females. This might be a nice option since you can add a Gold male & mix up the colors by adding 1 gold, 1 opaline, & 1 blue females. That would give a good amount of color.

If your substrate is sand you can add quite a few Corys to that mix to give your tank some bottom dwellers that are usually very active & fun to watch. Not the most colorful though.

Finally, you can add Dwarf Gouramis or Honey Gouramis but I wouldn't recommend that if you add Three Spot Gouramis. The Honeys & Dwarfs wouldn't stand a chance but you could keep Dwarf G's or Honey G's with Pearl G's.

A tank that size needs a big school of Tetras in my humble opinion & Angels go well with Black Skirt Tetras & Serpae Tetras. With a tank that big you should be able to add 10-12 and still have plenty of room for other fish.

Good luck!

I love your tank I can't wait to get my one built in
 
Basboi, here's a link to a site that has a compatibility search engine:

http://tropicalfishandaquariums.com/Compatibility/MatchResults.php

Keep in mind that just because "fish A" and "fish B" get along well with Angels doesn't mean that fish A & fish B get along with each other. For instance Serpae Tetras or Black Skirt Tetras get along fine with Angels but they don't do well with each other according to the chart.
