Hi Chris:  wow... I would not add anymore aggressive fish to that tank... while you have room for some... you have to remember that they are going to keep growing and those sharks are going to get huge... so down the road you will have to get rid of fish just to accommodate your sharks.... if you wanted to add something to your tank I would suggest a school of neon tetra's about 50 of them.... they are small, bright and fast and should not become fish food... plus they will help calm the tank down as the other fish will keep their eyes on the tetra... not sure if you need the UV stabilizer or not... see how you do without it..... hope this helps...
