I do not think that is a problem. You should read up on cycling and then see what fish are available in you area. There are many fish that fit the colorful and peaceful bill.

Tetras are a neat schooling fish. There's a lot of verity to choose from too. A pack of 15-20 cardinals or black neons are breath taking imo. There's also a lot of other options for schooling fish that can be gratifying as well. Cory's are neat and can be kept in numbers as well as oto's. Very satisfying to see them poking around in the tank and they also serve a very important part in any aquarium.

It doesn't sound like a problem. Your stocking is fine. Just make sure to keep up on your PWC.

Sounds fine. Just watch out for the extra angel, he could get bullied if two of them become a pair.
