Ideas for a twenty long planted aquarium

I want to have some crayfish and snails, what fish would go best with those???

That depends, are they temperate, subtropical or tropical, and what is the pH of the water?

The ph is 5.5 and freshwater only

We only had a crayfish for a VERY short time with fish. Not a good combo, the cray built a hiding spot & tried to "pinch" any fish (platy sized) that wandered too close.

What would you recommend keeping with a crayfish?

They really are best on their own...but you still need to say what species you have. Dwarf crays can be kept with fast moving mid-top water fish without problems. The 'big' crays aren't trusted with fish...nor most plants, honestly.
