would this work in a 200 gal.

I was thinking of getting a 200 gal in the future and useing an South American theme. So how would this work?
group of angelfish
group of discus
school of silver dollars
2 or 3 banjo catfish
large school of small fish (maybe tetras or something like that)
What do you think and how many of the two main group fish (angels & discus) could I get?

how many fish are in these "groups"

I would think 5 or six of each would be fine for the discus and angelfish.

if money were no object, I'd get 7 angels and 9 discus, all start from juveniles. Set the temperature to around 84~86 degrees, junvie angels should be able to adjust to this temperature as long as it doesn't flunctuate, and that would be the lowest temp to keep discus comfortable

hopefully money won't be a problem as this is a couple of years into the future but I thought it wouldn't hurt to start planning now, I also have a change, it would be a heavly planted tank so I need to forget the silver dollars, i would like to put leaf fish in their place, and I was hopeing that you could tell me how many of each might work or how many inches of fish I was looking at. thanks
