What does anyone think of this stocking arrangement? S/B approx 105" of fish.

120 Gallon Freshwater Aquarium
Boesemani Rainbow Fish 2/Female; 1 Male
Gold Veil Angel Fish 2
White Blushing Angel Fish 2
Dwarf Gourami 4
Ornate Cory Cat 5
Rasbora 5
Congo Tetra 5
Rummynose Tetra 5
Platy 2
Gold Nugget Pleco 1

I am concerned that some of these species prefer slightly soft water and others medium hard. Does that mean that they will not be compatible?

Also, will the Angels eat the Rummynose Tetras? Should I try for a larger schooling fish?

Does anyone forsee any problems with this stocking arrangement? Will have plenty of plants and hiding places.
 
With the Rummynose Tetras...I don't see a problem as long as you get the angles as juvenilies. Mostly with Angles you have to worry about very small fish such as neons especially because they are the angels natural prey.

Rummynoses will get to 2 inches in length and the Angels will probably leave them alone. One of the knocks against neons is that they just sit there, making them easy prey. Rummynoses tend to be more active and shy and will probably stay away from the angels once the angels grow up anyway.
 
The only problem is that platies like to be in bigger groups-like 4 or5 other than that it looks good though.
