I have a 75 gallon that currently houses 2 blood parrot cichlids and 1 bristlenose pleco. I would like to add 1 rainbow shark and a school of snakeskin barbs (6-10, currently haven't decided but open to suggestions). Does anyone see any issues with this stocking?

Beautiful tank. By tank size stocking look good, not sure about compatibility, what filter are you running?
 
Can’t say for sure regarding stocking but a rainbow shark will eat the heck out of your beautiful aquascaping

That's unfortunate to hear but I appreciate the feedback. I've also continued my own research since making this post and I think the snakeskin barbs will be too passive for the tank. Looks like I need to do some more planning.
