Needing inspiration for a killi tank

I have an 80L tank which at the moment is only housing 6 neon tetras about 6 little killies, but I would like to change it into a killies only tank and am looking for some inspiration for reaquascaping the tank. I have a nice bunch of christmas moss so far. Any links/pics would be appreciated!

    Wha?

    What sort of Killies do you have?

    You could go for a biotope tank...

    6 striped panchax, 2 australe golds, 2 australe chocolats.

    What would a biotope tank consist of?

    A biotope is where you try and replicate the natural environment where the fish originated.

    if you are putting them in the same tank i hope they are all males

    I'd be more worried about the australe fitting in the mouths of the panchax!

    They are all males, and my bad, they are dageti not striped panchax. I just had that name in my head for some reason.

    The Australe were almost full grown so the Lineatus would need to be huge... over 75mm at least.

    I keep them together in my lounge tank

    The dageti wont get big enough
