Whoaaaaa.......That's 20 gallons US. NO silver dollars. They get 5 inches and like to be in a pack.

Angelfish to 5 inches (bigger when you add in the fins) and they need that much room to themselves. Your barbs will probably kill the guppies.

I would say the bristlenose, danios, guppies, harleguin and the gourami was enough. If you want more in the tank, stick with what you already have and just add more harleguin. You run into too much trouble when you try to put too many species into one small tank.

I owuldn't add any more fish besides what hobbs said. Buenos Aires are very active and very nippy, so that would pose a problem. You're pretty much maxed out.

agreed, you dont want keep adding fish or they'll get stressed and possibly die, if you really want more your gonna need a new tank

Unfortunately, having a tank with similar volume, I have to agree with everyone else - your tank is already full.
The only way you can get other fish in there is to swap out existing inhabitants.
