cacatuoides in a 36 gallon bowfront?

My favorite local fish store has finally got some cacatuoides in!! I have 36 gallon bowfront that is heavily planted. Temp typically around 78. Current residents:
-5 zebra danio
-3 neons
-3 von Rio tetras

Would caucotoides be a good addition? I was thinking 1 male and 2 females. Good idea or not?

Breeding apistos can stress out a community tank and few fry will survive your fry predators if the apistos spawn. If it were mine I'd consider adding only 1 or 3 males depending on number of territories in the aquarium.

Personally, seems like a great tank for 1 caucatoides male, he'll add a lovely spark to it. though, you might have to change diet, If you look through this forum, bloodworms can be dangerous. I personally just use brineshrimp.
