I have similar stock. Recommend Bolivian rams or Curvicepts. Both peaceful bottom dwellers.

I wouldn't add another angel. Could be asking for trouble. They could very well fight when they become mature, and there would be no guarantee you had a pair, or even that you had two of opposite genders, as angels are very hard to sex, even for experts. I'm glad to see you got decent numbers of otos, tetras, and cories. Looks like you've done your homework. Careful with cichlids. Angels are cichlids, as you probably know, and not all cichlids will get along. Keep that in mind. What kind of rams are you thinking of? Bolivians or GBRs? Maybe the Bolivans might be okay, but I'm not sure about them with the angel, especially if they decide to breed, but others can chime in on that. Bolivians are not as colorful as GBRs, but they are tougher. GBRs die for seemingly no reason for a lot of people, myself included. I had a Bolivian for three years, by himself, and was very happy with him.
 
What about 1 or a pair of Ellioti cichlids? Would like something on the bigger side if possible!

Or even a Firemouth?
