suggestions for 50"x15"x12"?

I would get goofy and turn it into a mudskipper tank, not the little Indian ones, the P. schlosseri that gets about 20-27 cm. or the barred one that gets 18-20 cm, P. argentilineatus they are aggresive hunters and funny as hell to watch.
- Open top with suspended lighting
- Mangroves planted in a neutral colored sand substrate
- A few pieces of carefully selected Malaysian driftwood
- Archers, mudskippers, needle nose gar, green spotted puffers, moray eel, etc.

oh how i dream of an open top tank. i bet my cat (the furry kind) would love it though... especially the puffer
i'm considering a needle nose, but all info texts say they're really jumpy. perhaps not suited for a tank in the living room? cool fish though!
i'm leaning towards a pair of mid-size crenicichla, a cat of some kind and perhaps a small earth eather... g. balzanii maybe. i bit boring though because i already have a south american cichlid tank.
Needle nose are not suited to such narrow tanks, they break their faces, some of their cousins like celebes wrestling halfbeaks would work though. That tank would make a great tank for a breeding apistogramma community, cockatoo apistos are colorful and active while being small enough that with a few clumps of plants to break up sight lines you could keep 5 males and maybe 10 females as well as a few cory cats, it would be a constant soap opera.
