I have a 37 gallon tall.

2 Hifin Lyretail swordfish, 1 m, 1 f, orange and gold & orange.
3 marble mollies
2 Lyretail silver mollies
3 lemon tetras
2 blue apple snails

Water paramaters are perfect. I do weekly water changes of about 20 to 30%. Everyone seems very happy!

I would like to add another female swordfish if I can find a Hifin Lyretail tux, maybe a couple 2 or 3 bottom feeders, either ottos or leapard corys and a dwarf neon gourami. I just lost one and he was the coolest fish!

I would appreciate any opinions on this mix. I could replace the lemon tetras. I inherited them from my son who thought they were fin nipping his guppies but they have been very well behaved in my tank. Cute fish but there may be others I would rather have. Have a great lfs that would trade me something else.
 
A couple of pineapple swordtails might be nice. Maybe 2 botia loaches. Or 2 honey OR 2 pearl gourami, male and female pair with hiding spots.


On second thought, 4 cories would be my choice :)

I was afraid loaches might bother my snails! I feel I do need at least one more female sword as the male I have is currently glued to the female. He is always swimming right underneath her belly.
 
You've got no real active bottom-dwelling fish. I'd go ahead and get that female sword and go with 3 coryadoras catfish for some fun, active, bottom feeders. That woul be a well-stocked tank, but it sounds like you have the maintenance habits already.
 
Yes, I would stick to bottom dwellers as additions. Corys would be perfect to fit the community you have. Loaches will probably harrass your snails.
