i know you are adding 3 more but I would say add even more corys. they love being groups and you'll see more interesting behavior. What kind of substrate are you using/planning on because it is recommended to get softer substrate like sand for their barbels.

I would also say bump up your rummy nose to 8-12 as they are probably the best schoolers you have in your tank.

Why are you decreasing your pearl danios? are they not good schoolers? (never had them, but i always hear people recommend them)

on your rams just make sure you have distinct areas territories they can inhabit on separate sides of the tank if you get two because you might not get different sexes and they might get territorial

as for you pleco: I would check out the size they can get because some can get massive. and some can get mean
