Anthias, Firefish, Cardinals, a male and three or four female Fairy or Flasher Wrasses, Chromis - many species, thats what comes to mind at the moment.

Anthias IMO won't do much schoolong in that tank. IMO chromis don't need a predator (from experience) to school, current friends 55g has 6 green chromis that school hard core without any predators.
Ditch the Domino, it's gonna get big, and be the master of your tank. It will most likely harass what ever schooling fish you get to death.

That's where I keep my Psuedochromis as they can be aggressive. | |

The previous owner of my tank, I think originally had 7 chromis and for what ever reason by the time I bought it there were only 3 left. I think they look pretty cute swimming together. They are named Larry, Curly and Moe.  . I have 3 tangs and most of the time the Chromis are together, sometimes seperate but close by. I have 4 anthias. Used to be 5 but one jumped. They stay fairly close together but they don't seem to school. I have 2 zebra wrasses and they always swim side by side.
