Ok i have a planted tank planned

3 fish i realy want are a black ghost, elephant nose and angelfish... will there be issues with a black ghost and the elephant nose? iam sure the angel will be fine but correct me if iam wrong

tank is a 175g bowfront 72" * 18-24" * 29"..(still empty sitting on the floor not even on the stand yet so i got plent of time for replys)

any other fish in the tank will be just plain old common fish for nutrients for the plants such as guppies,mollies,platties, sword tails some"clean up crew" bottom feeders ect and iam 100% sure the off spring of the live bearers will be food for the angel,blk ghost and elephant nose... infact the tank will be HEAVILY planted and HEAVILY populated with live bearers before the ghost/elephant nose/angels are added

any comments welcome
 
BGKs (Apteronotus albifrons) and Gnathonemus petersii can live well together. BGKs have waves of electricity, and elephant nose fish have pulses.
Angelfish do need big open spaces cause they can and will reach more then 11"
in height. So for them a heavily planted tank wont be as much fun as for the other two
species.
Feed the BGKs and elephant nose well (I use red musquito larvae) and
keep nitrates to a minimum. They'll thrive.
Oh, and BGKs will reach up to 15+".

Which they do take years to reach that size. ;)
