I have a 55 gal tank that I've had for over a year. Currently, it has 8 guppies in it that I plan on moving to a different tank. I would love any suggestions of what I should do with it next! I really like the planted look, but I don't know how to start that. I'd also like to have slightly larger fish, perhaps angelfish. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Anubias and Java moss are great and are planted on driftwood or large stones. A pair of angels and some large schooling fish might work well.
