I like my rapheals in my catfish tank. Never bother anyone. Rarely even see them.

First, we need to know how big your tank is, because everything else really revolves around that. Next, you need to improve your shoal sizes. You have 3 types of shoaling fish in there, the 2 species of Loaches and the Cories. The Cories already have an adequate group, but the Loaches are going to be a bit "shaky" without a larger number of their own species. Try to get 3 more Yo-yos and 2 more Clowns. That is where your tank size comes in. Clown Loaches will reach about 10 inches in length, and to properly house a shoal, you would need roughly 75 gallons. Lastly, you have Goldfish (which are coldwater fish) in with a bunch of tropical (warm water fish). This creates issues with temperature preference, and the Goldfish are also EXTREMELY messy fish. Most tropical fish will not do well with such high levels of ammonia, so you should definitely separate the Goldies from the otehers. Email me with any updates or questions.

My suggestion: swordtails, platies, or rainbowfish.
These fish are very peaceful and usually don't bother the bottom feeders like the loaches and cories. I have four cories, and two loaches in the tank along with 3 swordtails and two rainbows. Tiger barbs might also be good (although they can be fin nippers: just a little warning), since the clown loaches will oddly sometimes school with these fish.

you should be careful what type of fish you put in inclusive of your goldfish. Goldfish are very grimy and supply off extreme quantities of ammonia which will kill maximum freshwater fish. There are diverse kinds of gold fish in case you're able to prefer to have a type on your tank. you're able to additionally try plecos, minnows or according to probability freshwater angel fish. don't be shocked in the event that they at the instant are unable to take the circumstances from.

I realise that you have already got some corydoras, i have two of these and they are very happy fish..
I also have a common pleco (sucker-mouth catfish) and they are very friendly community fish..
They can also feed on anything, flakes to pelets..
Also you could buy a oto cat or a green and red shark...
hope this helps....
