Help with tankmates please?
I have a 300 litre juwel rio aquarium with the following fish:
5x Torpedo Barbs
5x Parkinson Rainbowfish
5x Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish
4x YoYo Loach
1x Zebra Loach
1x Bristlenose Catfish
Any suggestions on any other types of fish that i could house in my aquarium?

Your aquarium sounds lovely!
I'd suggest another Torpedo Barb, as these fish are best kept in groups of 6 or more.
I also might suggest swapping the Zebra Loach for another YoYo, as these fish like to be kept in groups. If your Zebra schools with your YoYos though, it's probably fine to leave it.
That's it.
You are perfectly stocked as it is. Adding any more will only serve to decrease your water quality and potentially stress your current stock. The Loaches especially should not be kept in any sort of overstocked conditions, as they are super prone to ich and other stress related illness/disease.
If you want to add things to your tank, I'd suggest some (or more if you already have them) live plants. All of your fish would appreciate that.
Good luck.
