Stocking Ideas for 26.6 gallon

[OCF22]

I have a new 26.6 gallon 24x16x16 long nano tank lying around which i'm going to make into a planted jungle themed aquascape. Im looking for some stocking ideas, I like the idea of a nano monster fish. Some things i'm looking at are: Betta Macrostoma (pair), red and blue Columbian tetra and maybe some type of dwarf pike cichlid. Does anybody have some advice for stocking ideas or anything really would be help full.

Not a monster fish, but a group American flagfish might be cool? They’re a killifish species endemic to Florida, and they kinda look like little pumpkinseed sunfish or bass.

What is a nano monster fish? That seems to be contradictory.

Jewel Cichlid! They don't get that big and are very good-looking fish. They tend to be aggressive too if you are looking for some "character" or "uniqueness". I recommend keeping just 1. If you keep multiple and they pair off, a world war might happen in your tank.
