I have 56 gallon column tank with a eheim 2217 and aquaclear 70 as filter and lot of java fern and anubias plus pothos and dumb cane for plant filtration. Two large Featherfin catfish and one large Callichtys Callichtys catfish with three Spotted Raphael and three Stripe Raphael 13 mystery snails and twenty malysian trumpet snail and three gouramis want more middle and top level fish. What you guys recommend? and weekly 50% Weekly water change at 50% and top of with two quart of fresh water daily!

Tetras are always good. I really like my black neons.

Given you have striped raphaels I'd avoid small tetras as these may be eaten on occasion. I'd perhaps have pantodon butterflyfish at the surface & a shoal of medium sized barbs in midwater. That said , what is the footprint of your tank?

I'd go with barbs too, or maybe rasboras. I think they'd be better in a more boistrous community. There's some very nice ones available these days.

+1 Barbs or Rasboras would probably be the better choice
