I would suggest against a hex tank. I am running one right now and it's not all that fun since it's planted and just today I dropped one of my firemouths into it from my other tank. It took me pulling out about 10 plants and the driftwood to finally catch him. I have seen hex tanks work with angel fish but right now I see it more of a hindrance for a community tank, since you are not able to lay out a tank with distinct areas. Good luck to you with whatever you chose.
