i registered on the site,but when i go to log in it says incorrect,so i don the forgoten password thing and it hasen't sent it
they all do good in planted tanks. Pretty much if the fish doesn't eat plants it should work.
I have a 180 planted tank with clown loaches, bichirs, ctenopoma and a 20" fire eel

Theres a number of smaller to medium sized Snakeheads you could keep and a couple of small wolf fish as well.
You could go for a group of Bleheri or Sp. Assam. Both of these Snakeheads are quite peaseful and can live in groups.

yea i read up on a few,i'm still considering a rhom though,i was thinking add about 20 livebearers at first to give him a constant food source,but do you think he would eat them all before they had a chance to breed,also what would be a nice LB to use
