Does The Sound Good?

Ctenopomas are very shy fish, by nature they will stay hidden and wait to ambush their prey.
By hidden, we dont mean stuck to the underneat of a piece of bogwood all day like say a nocturnal catfish, but they will hide in amongst you plants (you will need something like java fern) for them to stay behind, because this is what they do in the wild, its like a tropical, and smaller version of an english pike etc...
It wont be swimming up and down the tank the whole time, but it will be a joy to watch, especially when its big enough to take earthworms etc, that you can just float past it, and watch it lunge....

If they are anything like my leaf fish, they will hide in anywhere were it is reasonably dark/shaded, so as long as you have plenty of these areas that are visible to you, you will be fine. My leaf fish likes to hide behind and under my internal filter, or in one of the several caves i have for my knife.
 
So I orderd a 75 gallon tank today! now i need figure out what plants i am getting, lights and if i will have co2 or not. can anybody give me suggestions on what plants and light i should get?
