Sounds like a 55 maybe??
You could go with some smaller cichlids like firemouths, 4-5 of them. Tanks that are 12" front to back might get cramped when fish start reaching the 6-7" mark, cause they have to maneuver around the decor (wood, plants, rocks, etc.)
A breeding pair of Salvini's would be VERY cool IMO, and VERY colorful
Good luck

that would be a 55 gallon aquarium. you could do apair of jack dempseys, salvini, a red tiger mota, freddy, or loisseli. i would stay away from piranhas because they are boring unless they are eating and can cost a fortune to feed. also, 2 or 3 piranhas will lead to very nervous fish and more than likely casualties.
i love angels you could start with 10 young ones in a tank that size and then once they mature you are likely to have between 2 and 4 pairs and if you do a good job before you know it you will have angelfish fry. Then if you keep doing a goodjob you might be able to sell them to your LFS.
