Your mix of fish is covering all the zones

The cypris will be the top layer fish, they are quite docile and you can add more top layer fish which are also docile
May be ventralis or furcifers

For mid level you have the comps
Although the amount of rocks is little less for the number of comps And the multis

Guppies will get nipped by the tangs
And that might introduce fin rot or some infection in your system

Tetras are your best bet and they will help you teach your fish to eat pellets as well

If you have enough rocks in your tank no need to worry about territory
