what should i add to my freshwater tropical fish tank?

right now i have 1 red tailed black shark, and 5 red serpae tetras

its a 30 gallon fish tank which used to have a bichir in it but he recently passed due to age after several years, ive been curious as to what i can add if any to the current set up i have now

just a note, i dont like corys theyre dreadfully boring lol

and i dont like plecos, i grow out a tank wall to wall with green algae and the damn thing doesnt eat any of it and 2 days later i find it all skinny and dieing so i went to the store and returned it because APPARENTLY my algae wasnt good enough for it.

ive been in the hobby for several years now and have had a vast assortment of freshwater fish most of which i gave away to friends who wanted to get into the hobby

im just looking for ideas just no corys or plecos (:

(i also have a 5 gallon with a male betta in it and was told he could go well with a ghost shrimp or 2 so i bought 2 of them and 1 of them hadnt even hit the sand of the tank yet and was already getting eaten so i saved the other and fed it to the red tail in the big tank. if he can have a companion id love an idea)
its a freshwater fish tank incase i didnt mention that? idk

and the fish currently in the tank are semi aggressive, i forgot to mention that so fish like fancy guppies with long tails or anything like that wont work

do mountain shrimps hide in a tropical fish tank and do they eat much?

we have just bought 2 shrimps the other week and only seen one of them. The other one tends to stay on top of the pump. Do they eat much too. I have asked a couple of questions lately about these as I havent got a clue about them and still learning so would appreciate any answers. Thankyou .I have checked a couple of web sites out and they dont really give you a lot of info about the shrimps I have.
I didnt read about them because we never thought we would buy them until we seen them in our local pet store and we asked about them and said they were ok to put into tropical tank. We thought it would finish our tank off nicely. And it does its just now I am learning about them .
SO THANKS FOR YOU OPINION
They are mountain shrimp not ghost shrimp (just for reference) thanx

I have a single african shrimp in my tropical fish tank is it correct that they can reproduce on the own?

I have no knowledge about african shrimps and I am curious about them. Thanks to those people who have answered my other question earlier.

Is it unfair to keep one shrimp in a tropical fish tank as my other 2 shrimps died?

What is the best website for fish?

I know pretty much the basics about my fish tank. I have a 29 gal. with tropical fish and some shrimp. Then I have a 10 gal. with 3 Pacus in it. I know enough to make them happy and take care of them, but I would like to know more. Is there a good website that could tell me more than the basics of taking care of a tropical fish tank? I dont need to know how to clean or how to feed, but rather, how to make my fish bigger and how to make my filtration systems last longer.
they arent big yet and i am not asking for lectures and facts about my Pacus, im just asking for a website to help me out on some tips. im well aware how big they get, i did my research before i bought them.
