just add a plec, and WATCH OUT FOR THOSE red devils
because of the way i am when it comes to fish, i'd add more. its a 180gal tank with 4 fish it in... others have that same tank like delgado stuffed with monster sized fish and more of them compared to you.
if you feel its getting crowded later in life, then move them later, but i personally think you could put more in there for atleast a few years. as long as it gets along with everything.

Dither fish like a group of swordtails would busy the tank up and distract all your predators. I keep swords with all my Firemouths. I also breed swords for a never ending supply. This is something to consider also.
Can you tell the sex of those RD's? Im my opinion, those two are the biggest potential problem. If you kept just one it might allow more fish but if those two pair off or are both males, look out!

Although I do agree with the "dither" fish. I would go with something larger like Tin foil barbs or Bala sharks. A shaol of 5 fish would keep the aggression from being direct at one.
You could also add a breeding pair of convicts, give them some good hiding spots. Once they have fry, that will liven up the tank.
