There's plenty of room (if my maths is ok) for the plecs & angels to reach full size & have room for a really good sized group of corys. You could have a nice group of 30 if you wanted them

You might want to think about temperature. I think that Altums like very warm temperatures, whereas most corydoras, including Concolor, do not. You might consider Sterbai, Gossei, or Opaquensis.

C.adolfoi and C. habrosus do pretty well with higher temps as well.

presuming the altums get full size habrosus would be far too small
