Edit: I take that back, I’ll call them tomorrow morning.
Look up sparkling gourami online in your prices.
In a 29 you could fit quite a few. But I'd go with 3-6 tbh

Oh yeah forgot there are shrimp involved.
Yeah dont go sparkling gourami. Small, but will tear your shrimp apart easily.

Ok. Do honey Gourami’s eat shrimp?
Paracheirodon simulans I would not advise as you already have P. innesi. They would inevitably shoal together and you want (presumably) fish for other levels.
Axelrodia riesei I have never been able to get locally, so all I can say is what is here:
Axelrodia riesei – Ruby Tetra — Seriously Fish

Epiplatys annulatus I have never had,

Avoid Sparkling Gouramis as they are like Betta fish.
They will hunt down all your shrimps babies and probably the adults also.
I almost wanted to get Clown Killifish as they are beautiful. But according to someone, they are not so friendly to babies shrimps.
But actually your Neon Tetras are also not friendly to babies shrimps.
As for the mix of shrimps colours, its provided you dont mind the mix of colours.
The Green Neon Rasbora is the Microdevario Kubotai and they originated from Thailand.
It's a different species from Paracheirodon simulans (Green Neon Tetras).
Seems like we have some fish with very similar name.

Which is why members really should use the scientific name. it only takes a minute to look it up from common names, and then everyone knows the fish we are discussing. But the OP did say green neon tetra, so I used the scientific name.

You are right man.
Now it seems that I like shrimps more than fish.
I might be getting some Microcrabs which originated from Thailand.
They are fully aquatic unlike some crabs that need to have half sand and water.
See my shrimps here.

No on the common or blue ram in any of its varieties, as it needs warmth and you already have fish (neon tetras) that cannot manage with higher temperatures. The Bolivian Ram (Mikrogeophagus altispinosus) maybe as a solitary fish. But it somewhat depends upon other fish.
