Aquascape Tutorial: Epiphyte Home Community Aquarium (How To: Step By Step Planted Aquarium Guide)
I've been meaning to do this for a long time but needed to rescue the amazon swords for the amazon aquarium. Now that they are out, I can finally revamp the tank to a much more manageable state and keep it looking great all the time.

This is the kind of community tank I want, a large center place with epiphytic plants, with swimming room, with a large mix of community fish, and a couple of medium fish, and a couple of large centerpiece fish, of course most of the fish will be schooling fish, and a mix of fish that swim in different layers of the aquarium, and of course a couple odd ball fish, and maybe a couple of other critters.
