Okay. Here we go. I have a 40 gallon fresh-water tank that's got a few fish in it:
2 medium sized angels, 4 neon tetras, 2 glass catfish, 1 corydora, and 1 large plecostomus.

I have a large tank with lots more room so what do y'all think would do best in it with these fish?

If you are saying that 40 gallon tank is alot of room? I'm not inclined to say that's ALOT of room, but it depends on what you want really. With what you have in there, if you're looking for some more color, try a few killi fish. Maybe a group of 6-8 mickey mouse mollies, you could try a pack of 6 tiger barbs, almost any group of tetra's. Basically, depending on what kind of colorations you want, you could add a good sized group of schooling fish and bump up your count of neons.

Get rid of the Plecostomus! It is going to get 2 feet long and won't have much room to move in your tank! Also, when the Angels reach adult size, they will start to eat your Neon Tetras. So, one of those 2 kinds of fish needs to go. Corries (your Corydora) should be kept in groups of 3 or more, so add another 2. You have done a terrible job of stocking your tank so far. If you are not going to be a responsible fish owner, maybe you should try growing plants instead. If you have any questions, email me at nosoop4u@cox.net and I will try to fix your tank... Good luck!

not goldfish. the fish you listed are tropical. goldfish are coldwater.
the pleco will need a larger tank. 55 at very least, 75 would be best. how are the angels to the smaller fish? angels usually eat whatever can fit into their mouths. you could get some larger tetras. maybe red-eyes or lemons. you could give the cory some friends. they like to be in groups of 3. not much else can go in there with the angels.
