Final stocking idea, good or bad?

Tank info again:

Eheim 2213 Classic canister filter

110 litres (29.9 US gal)

Dimensions are 36''(roughly 90cm)x 16''(roughly 40cm) x 12''(roughly 30cm)

pH will be at 7 max

Temperature at 25 max

Water will be softened (due to ridiculously high calcium levels in the water, probably with peat in the filter)

Lighting 250W day bulb (I think. It has a kind of purple-ish light)

Planted tank (4 Java ferns planned, still deciding on others unless this is adequate)

5 Sterbai Cory

1 Rainbow Shark

8 Leopard Danios

8 Black Phantom Tetra

Okay, opinions? Overstocked or well stocked? Good stock idea or not? Which fish would you take out of either of those lists (based on compatibility, not personal preference) and which would you recommend instead? If it's possible for me to add more, what else should I add (e.g. more of one of the listed species or another species)?

Just to quickly add, I'm not really looking for a centre piece fish and I'm not particularly fond of Bettas.

Thanks for your time, even if it's just reading this.

    Everything but the shark is fine. It really prefers a longer tank as it's an avid swimmer and will bet stressed out in the 29. This is true of most the "shark" species in the trade.
