Cockatoos are peaceful fish and are very hardy!

thanks but what other things could i use apart from plants and peices of wood or slate

Coconut shells, make great little caves, look fab and can be covered with java moss too I have coconut shells in all of my tanks and the fish love em

You can easily make them yourself too, cheap to buy 99p or something, scrape out the insides, cut them easily (with a saw I guess) and boil them and your done.

Yep a couple of coconut caves would be sufficient, just buy a coconut saw it in half, saw an arc in both of them so fish can swim in and out, scrap the inside flesh out and pour boiling water over them to kill any bacteria that could be harbouring on them, then add them too the tank!

Your choice, you can sand it off if you want, Ive seen those with and those without, personally I use those without the hair.
