Hey there!
I have a 46G aquarium which is the home of 3 Peacock Gudgeons, 5 Amano Shrimp, 4 Nerite snails, a dozen of pygmy cories, a dozen of Celestial Pearl Danios and a dozen of Rummynose Tetras.
 
I'm presently wondering what I could add to this aquarium to complete it, color wise, and preferably also having the top part of the aquarium filled up..
 
I'm looking for a splash of color, had a pearl Gourami but I gave it back to the store because he was being such a mean guy.
 
I would say your aquarium is fully stocked as is... prehaps even slightly over stocked. I wouldn't get any more fish if i were you, but this is just my opinion. Maybe a more experianced member will have a different opinion on the matter.
 
With two of your three schooling species such tiny fish, I would feel comfortable adding something else to the upper layer. You don't want to go too large for the obvious reasons. A bright red male swordtail would look stellar I think. If you just get one you won't have to worry about bullying between other males, plus no babies from females. If you aren't interested in these guys, maybe a honey gourami. They are typically peaceful fish. You might have more luck with one of them than with the pearl gourami. I would stick to a single gourami, though.

I am a long shot from over stocked, all of these fish are tiny and have little bio load. Pretty sure my 4 snails and shrimp poop equals the poop of all of the other fish.
 
Heck I did a test run the other day to see if I would even be able to get nitrate readings after 2 months of no water change and it never happened. I am back to regular weekly water changes now tho as I like my water to be pristine. (Mind you I am heavily planted).
 
I am now thinking of adding a school of Pseudomugil Gertrudae URA ii to this tank, would make a sweet addition to the top part of the tank.
