7.5 is a little high but they should adapt to it over time. they will be fine with your stock.

You could try Blue rams, would be ok with your set up and they're very pretty fish!

i love the khuli so i always put them in. something that doesn't have a traditial fish shape.
African dwarf frogs, and mystery snails also add a little bit of a character difference to a typical fish tank.
at least thats my opinion
