What kind of info do you need? There are several excellent articles about tank setups right here in PC, the chief one in my mind being Shane's article on the natural catfish aquarium. Look in Shane's World and you'll find others.
Outside of PC, this site has some info on biotope setups.

The owner of a local shop just showed me this book earlier today. It's one of the newer titles from Barron's publishing:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... oks&n=5054

(Jool's how do we hook you up with some coin from the link?)

I just had a chance to page through it a bit, but the quality of the book and information included appear quite good (typical for the recent Barron's pubs.)
The book would show an image and description of a particular biotope, go on to explain the fishes typical for the area, then illustrate how to recreate it in your tanks. A neat approach that I hadn't seen addressed in such depth before.

Timely eh!?
