I'd say a nice big group of Bleeding Heart tetras. Your tank is a fair size so i think these could make a nice school.

Bleeding Heart Tetra Here is the link to their profile.

EDIT: Taking another look at you list you already have a good number of fish in there. So maybe more of a center stage fish would be a better choice.

thanks for the reply i had 2 rams in there as a centre piece but they werent happy so moved to my other tank any suggestions for a centre piece

You know what im having some real trouble finding a center piece fish for your tank. I initially thought Angel fish but then quickly remembers that these are a no go with barbs. Which you have a good number of. So no Angels. I then looked through the index in the new world section. I found the Keyhole Cichlid. I don't know anymore about them that the whats in the index but they might be a good match for your needs.

Here is the link Keyhole Cichlid

[i was looking at lemon, penguin and cardinal tetras would any of these work

I don't see why any of those wouldn't work. Lemons are my fav of the three. They enjoy higher numbers but with that ill also have to say you'll have alot of fish. Getting close to your limit i think. That is why i suggested one or two center piece fish. Its still your call however.
