Getting back into it after being out for a few, I just got a 50 gallon (36x18x18) and am going to have a 20 gallon sump. Now I cannot get a lock in what stocking I want, I see brackish I want brackish (GSP) I see salt I want salt, I see fresh I want fresh. All I do know 100% is no reef, and no planted. Other than that I’m open. I would like an interesting tank with color and movement. Any ideas ??

Best way to start is to know what you want out of it.
36x18x18, the largest fish I would put in this tank would be about 5-6"
Do you want a single fish or a community?
If you want single, you could do a male convict cichlid or similar, and maybe coule get away with some swordtails etc as dithers. Not exactly predatory.
If you want a predator, african butterfly fish would work, and you could put some peaceful tankmates which are too large to eat.
