Ok I'm giving you one of my own upcoming projects..
A lost Aztec theme:
make a pyramid out of Styrofoam that covers most of the back not too thick still
need some foreground room. make it rugged with some missing blocks and spray with a greenish brown granite paint get some fake moss and aquatic plants all scale size from a hobby store add to the pyramid.
the foreground should have one or two of the missing blocks and i would build a sacrifice rock also with the same treatment.
Do the substrate in natural sand and some fine grass through out,remember to keep it scale a pyramid is massive..
then find some interesting fish i would suggest glow light tetra fry just big enough that they can be seen at list 20..

if your going to add neons go all out and do cardinal tetras.
i would stick with the muds. get some of those waxy twiggy branches that people put with birs or reptiles and have that be the roots of a mangroove and arrange it half in half out with the water and sand substrate. stick some fiddler crabs in there.
or for a playful one, do a beach with like a carribean background and out little fake beach chairs and mini cooler and a parasol in there, i don't know kinda' kitchy

How about a pair of bluespotted sunnies, or a pair of backbandes sunnies, or a group (6-7) of everglade or okeefenokee pygmy sunnies and 5-6 pygmy cories (or replace 1/2 the pygmy sunnies with twice that many spotted endler's live bearers)?
OOH! wait no! do a heavily planted tank with subdued lightingand one actinic bulb and put some class catfish inthere a hillstream loch or two (if you can find them) a panda cory and glofish or cardinal tetras and a dwarf gourami or betta. drift wood is always good too!

Check into the requirments. I know a friend of mine had either indian or maybe thai? something like that mud skippers and they required alot of humidity which meant alagae growth, brackish water, and he had two and apparently two won't get along with each other. Don't know if they need larger groups or what.
Yeah...for everyone heres the rules. Hey can't argue with a $ complete set up. ;D
