I have recently set up a 72gal freshwater aquarium and have just started to stock it. So far I have 6 tinfoil barbs(1.5" each), 3 cory cats(1" each) and one common pleco(3"). I am aware that the barbs will eventually get large, but the tank is very empty now. I originally wanted to add angle fish but am worried about the barbs nipping there fins. I have also thought about a bala shark or two. Would you recommend more cats, plecos or snails. I also have three plants(not sure what they are called)

Welcome to AC! You might want to start a thread in General FW where more folks will see it. I don't recommend balas in that small foot print as they get large and like large groups. Even with a six foot tank you will end up re-homing them.
