I have a 110 planted that is very healthy and stable. I was wondering if i could fit some angle (or maybe some discus but i dont think so) into it.

So far i have:

15 - Rummy Nose
6 - Corys
6 - Otos
5 - Silver Mollys
3 - Dojo Loach
1 - Clown Pleco

I'm think about adding ~5 Angels. I currently run a Eheim pro 4 for 160g and the temp sits around 74 with a ~7.2 pH

Thanks for any advice

Certainly you can add Angels, but Discus look their best in a large planted tank. If you decide Discus, have to keep them in very warm water, 82 - 84 degrees, and have to keep the tank exceptionally clean. Probably two large WC's a week. Need to research your current fish and plants to determine which can take the heat, or might be too aggressive.
With Angels, none of the above listed hassels.

That’s what I figured, one day I’ll get a discus tank! My concern was about overstocking, do you think I could get 5 or 7 (I like odd number schools) angels in the tank?

In a 110 gal. Tank, either odd number should be fine. Although rummy nose tetras are fast swimmers, be prepared for an occasional loss due to adult Angel predadation. I have kept Rummy nose. They are one of my favorites.
