I think you can add the ones you just mentioned without a problem, are there specifics types, or sizes of fish that you prefer, big, small, tetras, livebearers, barbs, sharks, catfish, gouramis, loaches, etc.

I dunno, if you want color, you could go cichlid but not with the fish you have in there right now. Or if you want small fish with lots of colors, you could go with tetras, barbs, gouramis and livebearers, but if you wnat big fish, you would probaly not be able to keep the fish you have in there with them, if you want gentle giants, you could get clown loaches although they grow slowly, bala sharks, plecos, and silver dollars. If you want lonesome large aggressive giants then you could get oscars, jd's, or other fish.

How about getting a large school of Danios. They're generally fast moving and IMO more active than Tetras. They would probably get the attention of the kids.

I don't know about compatibilty with the fish you have now, but maybe your could get some angelfish.

Platy's and swordtails have pretty mich the same temperment so they would probably be ok.

If you want something on the larger size that are peaceful, not so picky about water quality as the angels, and can be quite colorful and pretty, look at the Australian Rainbows.

I've kept my Rainbows with Guppies, Swordtails, Zebra Danios, Neon Tetras and even Glass Catfish and never had a problem of any kind. They tend to mind their own business, aren't fin nippers, and don't seem to be aggressive in any way.

Depending on the variety, they can get to be 4-6 inches in length. I was just at the zoo in Memphis and saw a school of mature Bosman Rainbows that was just spectacular.

Every fish u have asked about are simple community fish that should all work unless u get the bad apple in the bunch. I would recommend getting Clown loachs, they can get as large as 12"! They will eaisly get attention and do a fine job cleaning the bottom of ur tank. And they arent at all aggressive, mainly because they cant realy bite other fish (since they bottom feeders)

Hey and u got mostly live bearers so watch for big bellys (Pregnancy), thats always fun.
