Tank mates for Blue Gouramis

[Sevencharlie]

I have a 25 gallon tank that i originally got some poor big box store advice on stocking and cycling. Before the tank was cycled I had 3 blue gouramis and 6 tiger barbs. Its been two months and the tank is finally now cycled. However, despite daily water changes to kep ammonia under controle, I have lost all of the barbs along the way, with the last two passing this morning.

Current tank parameters are:
Ammonia 0 ppm
Nitrite 0 ppm
Nitrate 10 ppm
Ph 7.8

Im looking for suggestions for adding to this tank. It just looks so empty now.
