Go for barbs in a 3 feet tank. You can also add some ghost shrimps.

most people wud say hillstream biotopes, or chalakuddy river, or dwarf puffer biotopes. and they are right right in way that mountain streams are easy to build u know a couple of rocks and a powerful IPF with a variety of loaches. but the biotope variety in India ranges vastly, from blackwater-brakishwater-whitewatermountain stream-lakes ponds-slow moving water to stagnant water-fully planted to no plants..
I say you give your preferences and we'll find you up a nice Indian biotope tank.
kerela has a wide variety of fishes but guwahati has awsum colored loaches,likewise there are many contradictions as such... so I say u decide wat you want then only we can help...

(like for example I wanted a tank with minimum filtration eerie feeling tank I made myself a bengal blackwater tank) decide wat you want... atleast the looks or fauna or flora then we can go accordingly...
TY..
