The kuhlis would probably like to have more company, the molly too.

Maybe some sort of centerpiece fish...angels, pearl gouramis...a good idea would be to wander lfs, check out what's available and what interests you. Then you can check back here as far as compatability, space, etc.

I dunno about angelfish and gouramis, because serpae tetras are so nippy. They will rip off any long fins that they see, so angels and gouramis would get torn up.

I'd add several more mollies and kuhli loaches. Then, I'd get some cichlids. You could have two or three pairs of dwarf cichlids, or a pair of a somewhat larger kind. It depends on what you like. Just head down to your lfs as has been said, and see what you like.
