Since I lost my keyhole cichlid due to a freak accident I am thinking about getting another fish or more fishes don't know. My current stock is:
5 otocinclus
5 nerite snails
1 honey gourami
1 yoyo loach
3 angelicus
*my loaches are anti snail meat;)
3 bolivian rams
It's kinda an oddish ball 55g column style tank I know. I need suggestions. Should I add more loaches or HG's, go with something else, or nothing at all. I do apologize in advace I'm am very picky and no tetras, guppies, molly's, and platy's. Been there and done that and it was boring. Thanks :)

I've read that there should be at least 3 yoyos in a group, with 5 being the minimum most people prefer. I think you should do that, and maybe up the honey gouramis to 2 or 3
 
More yoyos or more honey gouramis would do well for your tank. Honey gouramis unlike most gouramis are very peaceful and like company.
 
MORE LOACHES :D Upping the yoyos to 3 would be good! In a 55 column I wouldn't do much more than that bioload wise, otherwise I'd suggest adding 4 yoyos and 2 angelicus ;)
 
All my loaches were saved from a Petsmart as babies. My yoyo has no idea that he's different. So funny! They were all in the same tank with nothing but a moss ball. I've owned plenty of dojo's, yoyo's, and angelicus. Had to break them out. They absolutely love each other. Been in my tank for 1 year now.

I also love my hg I've had him for 2 years and he's the only one of the 3 hg's I have left. I'm worried if I add anymore loaches that it will disrupt the group due to the fact that they are so tight knit. Guess I just miss having a big guy in the tank :(

How about 1 angelfish?

1 angelfish should do fine IMO.

Thanks for the reply! I have always viewed my tank as a great tank for angels due to the awesome vertical swimming space.
