Personal opinions...
The angelfish, which you say are large, the shark and probably the cichlid could possibly make a fast meal of cherry barbs. Maybe consider a larger type, like the Rosy Barb, with similar colours too.
More corys, definitely. Awesome fish! :good:
Guppies and zebra danios could have the same problem as the cherries... as for tetras, again I'd go for the larger species, maybe congo tetras (they'd go nice with the rainbow fish too!)
 
You'll be fine with corys. In fact maybe a few more bottom dwellers like yoyo or zebra loaches would go down well, and/or a smaller plec.

Top/middle I reckon you're pretty full up.
 
You could have a group of 3-4 reedfish and 5 more cories. :good:
