Fish Fanatic
First, that's a great start. I love the way you have the cobbles done. As the Cabomba grows (I think that's cabomba you have there) you can pune and replant to get a nice couple of thickets going. I'd plant some rotala or wisteria or giant hygo between, and some smaller crypts in the front corners, maybe some low rocks with Java moss.
How's this for odd: Start with two Leopard Ctenopomae. Then a Trio of Marigold Swordtails for color and food production. . Couple of Bulldog Plecos. A Ropefish (Maybe two or three). Finally, some larger, robust schooling fish - Rosy Barbs, Neon Rainbows, Scissortail Rasborae.
Alternately, get 1 male and 2 female pearl gouramis, Half a dozen Black Ruby barbs, 6 brilliant rasborae (if you are good with water quality), and a shoal of 5 yoyo or angelicus or striped loaches. That will cover all levels of the tank.
