The tank:
55 gallons
Penguin Biowheel 350 filter (350 GPH)
Plants:
Amazon Sword
Onion Plant (Crinum thaianum)
Anubias (looks like the amazon sword kind of)
Fish:
7 gold barbs
6 platys
6 white cloud minnows
4 long fin danios
7 cory catfish (3 schwartz, 3 albino, 1 green)
1 clown plecostomus
1 betta (not picked on at all by other fish, they leave him alone)
I was thinking of getting some kind of loach to add. Would it be compatable? I was thinking of a yoyo loach, but was wondering if any other kinds would be good in my tank (and what sizes they get up to). Also, any other suggestions would be appreciated. I just got the 55 gallon, I"ll be testing it daily for a while but it should be cycled fine. I used all the rocks from my old 30 gallon and have the same filter I had on the 30 gallon, same decorations, etc. Also, are yoyo loaches common in LFS, or would I most likely have to order some online? Any advice on a couple other interesting fish I could add to the mix would be appreciated as well. I don't want to overstock though. I can probably handle a light overstocking because I do PWC frequently and monitor the tank, I just don't want it to look cluttered.
Here's a picture of the tank currently:

The window is facing north and trees, so it doesn't get much sunlight, and I hae lamps lighting it for now because I have to get a new bulb for the canopy part.
Thanks!
