I would suggest adding more rainbows, since they prefer to be in schools of 6. I'm not too sure how big the others grow, but you may have to bring back or sell a few of your fish to do so.

Those red rainbows -- Irian Rainbows? I think they also call them "Salmon Red" Rainbows. They can grow 6+ inches. If you plan on keeping them, you might want to beef up that school to 6, but I wouldn't do both the Boesemani and the Irian. The Boesemanis can get anywhere from 4-5.5", depending on the strain.
