Sounds like too many rams and cockatoos..... They're very territorial and take up pretty large territories.

4ft, but how many gallons is the tank?

I agree, i think the angels would work well but maybe 1 pair of rams and 1 pair of cockatoos would be better. You could also add some other compatible fish to fill it up a bit.

I agree but go ahead and get a 1:2 ratio of cockatoos if you are getting cockatoos that is, which in my opinion are more vibrant. Angels like a tall tank I think for a adult is it 18 inches? I think you can get away with a couple you are only an inch shy! I have had problems with groups of angels they always seem to fight and tear each other up that is why I have only been keeping one in a 55gal and he gets along great with all of my community fish.
