Building a river tank, suitable tankmates with existing fish

Hello everyone.. Long story short, I have too many fish in my 47gal tank. I just bought a 90gal that I will make a river tank. Currently I have an L001, 5 clown loaches, and 4 gouramis in the tank. I plan on putting the L001 and clowns in the river tank. What top/middle species would be safe to add to this river tank? The gouramis will stay in the 47 and get some new friends too! Thanks in advance.
Here's a pic of my big guy. He really needs more room!

Clown loaches are pretty safe with most things. I just asked about upper level fish for a loach tank on Loaches Online, and were recommended hatchets (watch for jumping), rasboras and danios. There's an amazing array of danios available in the trade these days, if you live in a dcent place. For the middle a school of tetras (I have black neons) might be nice.

BTW the clowns are going to need the 90 gal and then some when they mature.
