75 gallon stocking..

Looking for help stocking the rest of my 75 gallon grow out.

I now have in it:

2x Amur Catfish (3.5")
3x silver dollars (3")

For the remainder I am definitely getting 3-4x clown loaches.

Other than that I am looking for 2 or 3 small schools of tetras/barbs, roughly 6-10 in each school and I would like at least 2 of the schools to be colorful to offset the design of my tank, preferably one of them being red. Looking for some suggestions.

Also looking for ideas on 2x other fish I plan to add to the tank as "center pieces". Possibly cichlids? Debating 2x green sevs but I'm open to suggestions here, and they don't have to be the same.

Look forward to hearing some ideas.

Thanks,

I do like black phantoms and believe they will be one of my choices. I don't mind lemons but I'm curious what other schools might be nice. I am able to get a good deal on a school of odessa barbs. Anyone have a reason these wouldn't work? As for angels. I don't think they will work with the Amurs. My LFS that brought them in put 10 of them around 3.5" in a tank with 12 angel fish and in the first night 2 of the angels were killed and a third was torn up.

Any other opinions?

You could try firemouths. The issue is most cichlids will readily eat tetras and small schooling fish.

I do like fire mouths and they are one of the fish I am leaning toward. Any reason in particular these will not eat the tetras while other cichlids will?
