Your severums will grow much bigger than angel fish or discus. I would try a couple of THORICHTHYS AUREUS. I don't know much about these fish, only that they grow to 6".

I also think a shoal of buenos aires tetras would be awesome. They grow to about 3" so a shoal of maybe 20 - 30 would be stunning. I used to have 11 in a community and they would shoal really well and swim all over the tank.

Those bunos aires tetras will decimate the plants in your tank , I had them and they even destroyed a java fern , they are known as planted tank destroyers.

Good point I missed the bit about plants. I just had their size in mind.
