Tank layout

Many fish have specific layout desires, but my fish are very different species, most likely with different needs. The tank consists of a flying fox, a BN pleco, a koi angelfish, a shoal of rosy barbs, and 12" left to play with. Any arrangement suggestions?

Well, the BN would appreciate some caves. Flying fox, well, he'd want some open swimming space and a rock to sit on, perhaps a cave. Angels like swimming space, and the same goes for Rosy barbs. The angel might appreciate some tall plants, so a bit of Vallisnera in the corners. All those fish would refer softer water, so a bit of bogwood which would also create caves and a place to sit, as well as giving the pleco a dietry benefit!

A quick overview: Caves, Bogwood, a few big rocks, open swimming space at the front and Vallisnera plants at the back.

As for the 12" to play around with... 3 male Swordtails? They would want open swimming space.
