After lots of toing and froing, we ended up going with the Oase Highline 300. Only had it for about a month, but so far so good.

Thanks for the suggestions- I am thinking something along these lines. However I’d read somewhere that if kept as a group, you should have 5+ angels to diffuse aggression? How true is this? In an ideal world, I would probably want three or four as you suggest. Also trying to decide on a...
