I've gotten back into fish keeping after nearly 5 years hiatus and have moved cross country so have vastly different water than I used to, am used to having very hard water and having to settle on livebearers a lot.

So far I have a standard 200l planted tropical tank, soft water, black sand and set at 24c. My filter can easily handle up to 300l tanks. And it is cycled (cycled using some media from my brother's already cycled tank).

Current fish stock is:
12 Albino Lemon Tetra
12 Purple Harlequin Rasbora
2 Mystery Snails (I have added some shell bits for their calcium)
2 Bristlenose Catfish
10 Kuhli loaches (turns out it's 2 pangio, 1 giant and 7 black)

I'd like to get some more striped kuhli loaches specifically and possibly 1 bigger display fish. Do I have the space and compatibility for this?

More common fish suggestions are probably better. I love in Western Australia and we have strict biosecurity laws so I can't even order fish from interstate without permits.
 
I ended up with an additional 5 rasboras for 17, 3 more albino lemons for 15 and 1 dwarf gourami.

Still waiting on the pet shop to get more Kuhli loaches in stock.
 
Finally found some more striped kuhli loaches and picked up 6 more. Also found 4 Darwin Algae Shrimp so picked some up as well.

That's it for my stocking. Just waiting on the plants and moss to full establish and this tank will be finished. It's a weird feeling honestly.
