Lots to choose from, I'm a big fan of harlequin rasboras. Might snack on shrimplets but they didn't go near the bottom very often.

That's definitely an option. How many do you think for this size tank with the aforementioned stocking?

I would say 10 or so of a standard size schooler would be a good number

I'd say 10-12 espei rasboras (trigonostigma espei) as they're a bit more active, IME, than harlequins, and they're deceptively unique. At first glance, they look like harlequins, but if anyone takes a second look, they're different. I also think the copper is more bold on the espeis.

A school of six Cory's will look nice for the bottom part of your tank. I prefer Julii Cory's myself.

I just put this stock into aqadvisor:

10 espei rasboras
8 julii cories
2 ABNs
1 pearl gourami

It says I'm 58% stocked. I know this site isn't an exact science, but is there something else I could add that I'm missing, that would still be ok w cherry shrimp?

Id personally up that school of rasboras to about 15-20 just because you have the space and it would make them act more natural. As for other fish that are compatible with cherry shrimp, are you looking for another school or a solo fish?

Add some more corys and rasboras.

I agree, more corys and rasboras.

OMG, your little dog is just adorable. And your tank looks really nice, too.
