Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'm not a big angel fan, though I do like rams. I'm thinking some Geophagus and pike (as suggested) may be where I'm headed. Now to find a good reliable online source for them.
The tank is already up and cycled, however I just bought sand last night and I'm going to change out the gravel tonight after work. I noticed he has some in stock already so I may order a few from what he has in stock towards the end of next week, then add more when he gets back in December.
