leopard ctenopomas for sure^^^ also elephant nose should be fine. my lfs has senegals in with elephant noses and clown loaches. you could try some SD's (silver dollars) they would be fine and would school around the tank.
Bichir and ... Adult Swordtails? Does it work?

Thanks for the suggestions.Long trailing fins? Easy pickings >> I put a spiky-finned butterfly in there and he was torn up within the hour. (As was I. T-T) I couldn't possibly see flowy-flowery little angelfish in with polys to be honest. I don't know much, but I just don't have a good feeling on that note. >>

I've kept them together many times without issues. My buddy still has angels with his dels and sens. Bichirs are predators, not fin nippers.
I vote for rainbowfish + gouramis if you don't want to do angelfish or other cichlids. Large tiger barbs would be okay too.
I'd be most worried about the bichir, as I have kept ropefish with tetras, angelfish, parrots, geos, gouramis, axolotls, rainbowfish, loaches, corys, platys, plecos, etc...

if you can try raiamas, or trout-barbs. they're colourful, active, predatory cyprinids with some wickid colour and they often grow about 8 inches long for smaller species
Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been online much lately.
"Rainbow" refers mainly to species of the Melanotaenia genus. Species like M. herbertaxelrodi and M. trifasciata would grow large enough to avoid becoming food, since they have much larger bodies than most other fish of similar sizes. And SD = silver dollar.
