Depends on what type of tankmates you want and how you aquascape your tank. I have angelfish and clown loaches with bichirs. They seem to get alone fine.

ropefish. eels. smaller cichlids keyhole apistogramma aequidens thayer. festivum. anything that stays close to the surface.

My loaches are about 2.5-3 inches right now. I only have four loaches due to fear of the loaches taking over the tank. Oh I forgot to add that I have a few small plecos in there as well. I have a endi, polli palmas, weeksi, delhezi. The setup you're doing is somewhat similiar to my setup. I have claypots, driftwood, black background, and dark color substrate.

If I were you, I'd try a cichlid i.e. GT, Sev, Syn, etc...
