Adding FW fish to tank (recommendations)

[Travis32]

We have almost fully stocked our FW 75 gallon tank. Would like recommendations for what I could add to my tank that would co-exist with existing fish. Fish we have are:
5 zebra Danios
1 smaller sized angelfish
1 Dalmatian molly
6 cory catfish
6 Bossemani rainbowfish
2 Siamese algae eaters.
We are looking for something colorful and a little size to it, doesn't matter if it is a school or not. Thanks

I would get more danios, cories, and rainbows.

I agree on upping the number of rainbows, corydoras, and danios, especially the danios. They are less likely to become fin nippers if they have a good size school of their own. I would add two more angels. What color is yours? Some of the varieties are incredibly colorful.

Cories, Rainbows, and Danios are always happier in big school.

I would remove the SAE as they get territorial and don't eat algae that well.

(That might be the CAE correct me if i was wrong)

Maybe add some more Molly to finish it off, or take out they Molly and add in a Sparkling Gourami. Or a group of 5 Dwarf Gourami.

I WOULD: Add more Cory, Danio, and take out the SAE and Molly, and put in 5 Dwarf Gourami.

I doubt the shark would play well with the cories

I have a four inch long SAE (with another smaller one) and she is as mild in demeanor as can be, and she continues to eat algae. CAEs shouldn't be in anyone's tank in my humble opinion.

I love Threadfin Rainbows. They're gorgeous and peaceful fish

You should add another school of rainbows, perhaps turquoise, red irian, or neon dwarf. Different rainbow species go really well together!
