Currently there's 6 skirted tetras, 6 sterbai corys, 2 clown plecos, and 1 opaline gourami. I'm going to be adding 4 more skirted tetras for a total of 10. Also considering addding more corys, but I know those will get larger.

I would like to add another schooling fish. Possibly another type of tetra. Any suggestions?

Lastly, I was thinking of adding more opaline gouramis. Do they do better in a group and if so how many or do they more loners?

Tank is moderately planted. There's also 2 largish pieces of wood and a few rocks.

Grateful for any suggestions.

I wouldn’t add more opalines they can be quite agressive. I personally would add 4 more cories and then 10 zebra danios or 10 emperor tetras. You could do many other shoaling fish but they are probably my favourite.

Cardinal tetras are my favorite tetras. Their color can't be beat, plus they're calm, school fairly well, and are decently hardy.

Be cautious here. I've not kept opaline gouramis, but my experience with several other types of gouramis have fit a pattern. The males are usually more aggressive than the females, and if you get just a couple of males, your destined for trouble. All the other gouramis I've had do well in groups if there are at least 2 females per male and you avoid having 2 males (1 or less, 3 or more).
