I have always recommented no more then 1 species of fish for every 20-30 gals of water (Not including ground-huggers).

So IMO you are about right (just increase the number of the fish you already have). BUT........
If you must add another fish go for a dozen Marble Hatchets.

See my stocking below---I have about the same size tank, with about the same kind of fish as you.

The only thing I can offer is that I once had a desktop tank at work and stocked it with a couple of upsidedown cats because the guy I worked with liked them. Within 3 days they were never to be seen again. Not because anything happend to them, but apparently they are nocturnal and spend the rest of their time in any dark corner (or underside of drift wood) they can find. My point is simply while they are cool looking fishes, if you add them to your tank, especially a 125 be prepared to see them very seldomly.

Personally, I think your current list is a great combination! Try what you got so far, see how you like it, then add some more! Be sure to include pics!!!!
