Hey guys and gals

I just picked up a used 47gal (32"x16"x21") tank from Craigslist. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to what I should stock it in. Its not the biggest footprint, I know, and since Im sort of new the aquarist scene maybe you guys could recommend some fish. Im completely open to ANY SUGGESTIONS, I know I cant have anything too big in there, but maybe a rarer or hard to find fish will be cool. Im going to reseal it today once I get more silicone and clean it out.

I was thinking maybe a Firemouth or Salvini, but I would like something "not as common" and I dont know a whole lot. I would love a Jag or Severum but this tank is WAY TOO SMALL for them. Any input will be appreciated!

BTW I have a 60gal and a 10gal up and running already, this tank is just going into my room for me to enjoy.

GRACIAS!

I would like to use a canister, but its not going onto a stand but rather a large counter next to my sink.
 
what about a show piece flowerhorn or some sort?

but if it was me i would turn it into a planted community tank with small schooling fish.
