Could I add some more colorful fish?

[hennaartist]

I am wanting to add some fish with some color (since the only fish I have with color is the GBR's).

Its a 55 gallon, and I have:
1 African Butterfly Fish (ABF)
2 Ropefish (12 inches)
2 Angelfish (4" black and white supervail)
2 German Blue Rams (2")
2 mystery snails (which I may move to another tank)

My Temp is at 80f
my ph 6.5

So, am I fully stocked?
If not, are there some recommendations for some colorful fish I could add?

Don't bother counting inches when planning a tank stocking level. The inch / gallon is an antiquated rule that is no longer useful.

Try AqAdvisor - Intelligent Freshwater Tropical Fish Aquarium Stocking Calculator and Aquarium Tank/Filter Advisor for some tank stocking level help.

With those particular fish I would suggest a school of some sort however the african butterfly is pretty limiting.

Maybe a school of praecox or boesmani rainbows would work as long as they are full grown.

Rainbows are wonderful! Pearl gourami would also work. They are very peaceful

You could add a m/f pair of blue/gold/opaline gouramis. I have 6 gouramis with my 2 angels and they don't even bother each other.

I like the blue dwarf gourami, but I just worry about it nipping the angels and butterfly fish's tales.

Im not to keen on a peal gourami because I want something with a little more color.

A pair or single dwarf would work too, I wouldn't be worried considering gouramis are generally peaceful. Dwarfs are more peaceful in my experience, just keep a look out.
