Tiger barbs, BBGs, ottos, skirt tetras, khulis, certain other puffers, rowdy cichlids, aggressive botias such as skunks and red tails, and SAEs. Your tank is stocked as it is, though, because that RTBS will grow a bit too big for your tank.

If you mean Bumblebee Goby by BBG, they are brackish.

If by bumblebee goby you mean b. xanthozona and company, then actually not. They are found in both fresh and brackish regions in Javanese Islands. Therefore it's safe to say that you can keep them in FW. Besides, I've kept them in both conditions, and both thrived for two years until I dismantled the tanks. Most stores keep them in FW anyways, not that we should always follow the lead of LFSs on all things aquaria.

EDIT: grammar

You'd think that most shrimp would become snacks, but each fish is individual, so...
