If you looking for oddballs,hmm its dificult to say, i mean i would go with snakeheads...hehe which means a species tank..
Rummys will knock down your abilitys,,as more than likely get eaten

I would go for, Snakeheads, Africans or a wet pet big cichlid like a GT with a few dithers, maybe a group of the smaller silver dollar species or columbian tetras

You have loads of options:
African Bush Fish,
Reed Fish
Glass Fish
Butterfly Fish
Halfbeaks
Loads of interesting Catfish.

Just a few that come to mind

cheers for the list mate i like the look of thouse halfbeaks, i was thinking of bichir or a snakehead and was wondering which fish could go with them like a severum and any shoaling fish maybe the halfbeaks?

I wouldn't keep Bichirs with anything I listed above. Too predatory.

A Hujeta Gar

how big do they get and would that be compatible with a snakehead? also anyone know if these fish would get on with any type of cichlids?

Hi mate, if your going with snakeheads,i would reccomend having a species only tank, look at things like ornatipinnis / pulchra / assam / bleheri / gachau / kerala 5 stripe / orientalis / for a few which are quite avalible..
The only ones i would really reccomend as a community style would be pluero or parachanna obscura, which i kept both happily in a community, tank was 5/2/2 foot..
I can say i have a hoplo catfish in with my ornatipinnis and he has no troubles with them,

Not a good idea to keep with other fish, beleive it or not, they get bullied by other tank mates, esp cichlids
