Is There Anything Exciting To House In a 4 Feet Tank?

Okay, now that my computer is working:
A warmouth sunfish gets to approximately 8" but doesn't need a massive tank because they don't move too much as adults. They're kinda like really pretty North American oscars. Lots of personality, nice colors, lots of intelligence. Also, they're not terribly aggressive. The downside is a full-grown warmouth can open its mouth just about enough to fit a golfball. You can't keep small fish with warmouths. Well- not for very long.

Exciting is a matter of personal taste. i'd keep Goldfish in your tank and find them exciting. So i advise fancy goldfish.
While you all try to justify gold fish and think it's a goofy idea, it is EXACTLY what the original poster requested.
1-personable. Goldfish are the BEST at this! Fancy or otherwise!
2-x2 will fit in a 67g (weird dimensions?!) for as long as you are willing to keep them there. And they will get BIG- if feed regularly and water is maintained appropriately. If a Biotope is wanted- throwing in some floating plants will help with bio waste and keep the goldies attention!
They other option is a shoal of small active fish.

+1 on the Warmouth! They're illegal where I live otherwise I'd have a whole school of them! Green Sunfish are a good choice too. Get about the same size as Warmouth but a bit more aggressive, males are terrors and make great wet pets and females go great in a community of sunfish. Either sex is still very feisty, though. My 6" female had no problem throwing around 6-8" creek chubs when she got moody, sadly those chubs are gone due to some vicious little bullheads lol.
