Hi, Its been awhile since I've been here, but hey. You don't have any bottom dwellers, yet. 6-7 panda cories, they don't get too big and are fun too watch as they scout along the bottom for goodies. If your tank is well established 3-4 ottos as well. And then you could get a couple of loaches. Not clown loaches, they get too big, Kuhlies, or straitas, as long as you have hiding places, both need to be in groups and neither are nasty. I could fill a bunch of tanks for you, but you'll do best with fish you like. As long as you avoid the extremes, acclimate very slowly, and keep pristine water conditions, you are limited mostly by who will get along with what you've got. good luck and enjoy.

There are MANY species of cichlids that will be fine in a community tank, as long as they aren't breeding.
However, your best addition is 3 more danios and 4 more rainbows, to give them proper schools. Don't get any bottom dwellers unless you do a good amount of research on them and are prepared to make sure they get enough food (I usualy slightly over feed in my tank with cories, to make sure they get enough food; they seem to enjoy table shrimp as well as different veggies as a treat).

I would be catious keeping larger gouramies (like pearl, three spot and moonlight gouramies) with smaller gouramies (like drawf and honey gouramies). In my expierience it leads to the larger gourami killing or severely injuring the smaller gourami.
