With the 9 Sunfish and 6 Madtoms the tanks sounds full to me. The only thing I think I will add are a few Mystery Snails and Pond Snails. Also been thinking about starting with a few dozen Ghost Shrimp. If they get eaten then at least the fish will be well fed, but I'm hoping with enough cover they'll last a couple months and not hours.

If the mystery you're referring to is solved by being identified as an apple snail, I wouldn't advise adding one to a planted tank. My apple snail thought my live aquarium plants were delicious. It was quickly rehomed. The physa fontinalis, ramshorn, and lynmaea snails I have leave the living plant tissue alone. They'll eat decaying parts.The only thing I think I will add are a few Mystery Snails...

I'll have to heck to make sure, but I believe the mystery snails are P. bridgesii which are less likely to eat healthy plant material than P. canaliculata. I currently have a few of them in a couple of my tropical planted tanks and a room temperature (as low as 60 in the winter) goldfish tank.
