Currently have a 90 gallon that I'm looking to add a few fish to. Currently I have two Ompoks padba, one clown loach, one bumble bee cat, 4 odessa barbs, pink kissing gourami, two spot gourami, and sengal bicihir. Bicihir is a grow out and is only around 4-5". Largest fish is kissing gourami at around 5.5". I'd really like to keep this tank to a SE Asian tank since most of my fish are from there. Suggestions would be appreciated.

That senegal will probably be alright in the 90 for life depending on the footprint...they don't get tat large due to the overbreeding of the species.

Anyway, I would add 2-3 more clown loaches. They are the best fish when kept in groups and schooling. I have 3 in my 150 and they are the most personable fish together.
 
I'd love more clowns but for whatever reason I've been through five in the last 6 months. With the single one I have left is from the orginal batch I bought. It just always seems that I'll pick them up bring them home and they look great for like a month and then sunken belly occurs or they just look sick and then die. I think after I finish my last semester of college this May I will pick a nice little pack of clowns up
 
I have had a few fatalities with my clown groups as well. Out of 6 purchased 3 are doing great haha.

You might consider pictus cats too, providing that bumblebee wont eat things smaller than it eventually.
 
Did pick up another kissing gourami the other one I had was being bullied by the two spot that is far smaller. Looks like the aggression has come to the end and I do like the look of those kissing gouramis. Any other suggestions?
 
its hard for me to give suggestions since I keep my tanks region-specific haha. You could do a school of something like danios or neon tetras 6-7 of either would be cool.

Yeah I've been trying to do the same thing minus the birchir I let myself cheat on that one since they are farmed in Asia. I'd like to eventually get 3-4 dennison barbs but for whatever reason they are like $17.99 a piece at my LFS so I'll have to get them at Petsmart probably when they are on sale. I do like the idea of the Yo-Yo loaches and almost got some my last trip to the LFS but they were a little too small to survive the Ompoks at night. Does anyone else have any suggestions on SE Asian fish I should add?

Just got some filament barbs from aquabid for $25 for a six pack. Try looking on there.
