Get a FW eel. Something unusual. I wish there were dwarf stingrays,so you could have a sringray in a small tank.

Some Hillstream Loaches look like little stingrays. I have two in my community and they're great!
***************** has them under Beaufortia kweichowensis.

I wouldn't add any more different fish, I would go with what you already have, add a few more cories and ottos to the tank.

c'mon anybody got some suggestions!!!???
Since the main focus of your tank will be the angel fish (as they get big) I would definately not add more species or it will strat to look messy and complicated. Adding a lot more cories so you have a big school will look cool. And more ottos would be nice as well.
more cories would be the first bet. i nice school of albinos will look nice and the fish will feel safer. the hillstream loach is a good idea. theyre hardy little guys and look interesting but they will occupy the same space as all your bottom fish. would it be possible to add a couple more angels of a differant color variety? i dont know much about angel temprament.

why dont you get a couple of diffrent strains of angels? there are lots of varieties you can add a lot of color to the tank that way.
or you could get an unusual pleco that doesnt get to big.
or how about some Ram's? they are small and stay on the bottom of the tank and are very pretty.
