Heya there fellow aquamates!
Just checking in your thoughts about my plan, if it's doable or not. (heads up, not a native English speaker so there might be some - or many - errors, sorry about that)
I'm going to pick up a new 120 gallon tank (biggest one yet, I've had Nanos and one bigger, approximately 90 gallon tank before) and plan on the following :
For set up: sandy substrate on the bottom with rocks (preferably cave-like assembly), driftwood and few low light plants to get some shaded areas. I'm going to add either acrylic or pvc platform with 1-2 inch edge on the other side, approximately in the middle of the tank (middle in height), where I'm going to put substrate with some more plants (the tank is 5 feet in length btw).
Now as for the fish, I was planning to go with 2 rope fish and 3-4 angelfish. I've heard multiple different stories about this, some people saying that that's a no go since angels can be quite aggressive and territorial, but others saying they get along nicely since rope fish rarely bothers the angels.
Would this be okay or should I prepare backup tank for the angels in case they don't get along? I'm well aware that rope fish can be really sensitive with water parameters and I don't mind doing some extra work with maintenance, so cleaning and frequent water changes won't be a problem.
