After I cleaned the rocks well they came out with slightly different colors and also different textures. Arranging them like this helps them transition a little better than randomizing them together. Obviously, this isn't a strong hardscape at the moment. Any advice would be appreciated.

Read above to get the dimensions on the tank. Since there is very little depth I am planning on putting a school of small fish in it to emphasize the length since I cannot exploit the depth. This tank will be much "colder" than my others. I'm not even sure the plants I have will work in it. What plants would you recommend for something like this. I think that if I plant it right I can make the rocks work well, use the plants to tie them in better.

I want deeper, darker colors, no bright plants like sag or pearlweed. I think rotala indica may work well with it's reds and pinks. Sort of a pastel coloring with a school of brightly colored fish, something like gertrudae small rainbows.
