Tell me your thoughts on fish 4 new tank!

OK, I am soon getting a 4'x4'x2' tank. I like both south american and african cichlids. I would like to hear everyone's input on what would be awesome in this tank. I'm looking for fish that are out and about and ones that occupy the different levels of this tank. What would you choose? DETAILS please! I'd like to also know #'s of fish for this tank as well. Thanks!

If you want a lot of color and personality and smaller fish I would go with African Mbuna.

Well, it came with a clownknifefish, and he's been through alot, and he's pretty cool, so I'm working on finding some big cichlids to go with him.

Make sure you keep fish in there that the Knife fish wont eat!
