Maybe some platies and endlers trying to mate, so have a good thicket of plants for them to hide from each other in, and you should be all set

Males are quite small and I too would be concerned about them getting eaten. And you definitely have fry-eaters in case you had thoughts about breeding them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Or a second tank to move some of the fish out? It seems like your current setup is stocked enough (if not too much already). Otherwise, I am with Cory Addict and Theresa.
