This is my tank:

55 Gal:
6 Zerba Danios
2 Cherry Barbs
3 Gold Barbs
6 Tiger Barbs
2 Pictus Cats

Its cool and all, but I really want to get some personalities. You know-non shoaling loner fish. What are some good ones I could add to this tank? I was looking at ropefish, loaches, bichir, sharks, plecs, etc. But Im really not sure if a lot of them are compatible.
 
Loaches prefer to be in groups. Ropefish can be escape artists. You could get some of the smaller pleco's avoid commons. You could get a rainbow shark. They like to be alone. Bala sharks like to be in groups. Bichir's can get aggressive to other fish.
 
Red tailed sharks can get aggressive when they get bigger. Be prepared to rehome him if need be when they get bigger.
