Do you like small shoaling fish or maybe a group of medium sized fish?

A nice school of lemon tetras would give you something different or even a nice group of rainbowfish could really set off your tank.

I personally would change your stocking and go for a few bigger fish then a big shoal of something maybe
2 blue acara
4 keyhole cichlids
4 bolivian rams
pair of BNs
10 corys
20 harlequin rasbora or 8 rainbow fish
4 festivum cichlids

how i do like cichilids (spelling)
i would much prefer a community tank with a variation if possible.
i seem to have found wigan pier aquatics very good and have some fish i have never seen. (really nice plecs)

To be fair though all the cichlids i said with maybe the exception of the blue acara work great in community's and will only get a few inches long.
Maybe
1 angelfish
5 mollys
20 cardinal tetra
20 harlequin rasbora
3 BNs (1male 2females)
20 corys
6 upside down catfish

that seems a lot of fish

In a 80G i dont think there will be any problems with that. What filter are you using?

 

[danny_sims]

there is a cf1000 aqua one external.
and a fluval 3 internal.
four way air pump.

That looks good to me. Maybe start of with 15 of each of the groups and if its still going well up them to 20.
