Hi!
Your tank is 33g and quite short lengthways so that limits your options.
The cardinal tetras are a good choice.
The boesemani rainbows get quite large and need a lot more swimming space than 2foot. So they aren't suitable for your tank.
Dwarf gourami is a good choice.
4 rams are probably going to have territorial issues. IMO you could have a single pair quite easily in there.
What kind of cories where you thinking? They prefer to be kept in schools of 4-6+ (depending on what kind).
IMO glass cats need more space than your tank can provide. They also need large schools and have been know to die of loneliness.
Cherry barbs and kuhlis are both a good choice. I would choose between kuhlis or cories.

That's what a 30 gallon or so? You're going to have trouble having four rams in a tank that size for sure. Glass catfish are a shoaling species so even if they'd work with the rest of the stock (not certain since I haven't kept them) then they'd need a group twice that size.
