I have a few cichlids along with a weather loach, a clown loach an Angelfish and a Discus.

They all get along perfectly well. There's never any fighting. I will be getting a Mono Sabae soon, but my tank has loads of space left and I want just a few more other fish.

Which other's will get along well enough? Since there's lots of space and hiding places, I don't mind any slightly territorial ones. I do want something colorful.

How big is the tank?
What do you have for filtration?
What are the current inhabitants?

The tank holds 800 litres. It has a good external filter. The current fish I've mention above are all aproximately 6 cm in length.

The mono is brackish/marine and the weather loach isn't going to be comfortable long-term in the temperatures required for discus.

Get more of the same loaches, they will appreciate more of the same fish. Also Angel fish and Discus are cichlids, I'm not sure if you know this as you said I have cichlids + discus and angels?

As previously stated, these fish are brackish and the other fish, esp the loaches, will not like all that salt in the water.

Depending on what the cichlids are I would get some more angels or ditch it, I would get rid of the discus, get more loaches and school of silver dollars.

maybe get rid of discus or get a new tank for them and keep some more aggressive cichlids maybe angels get beaten though
