If you are happy with it, then you are on the right track. Do you want to make any changes?
The only problem I see is housing such a mix of fish sizes. The big fish will likely eat the small ones, when the big ones are big enough.

If the tank has been running for a year with not problems, you've more than succeeded. As Diana asked, are there changes you're looking to make?

Nice clean scape but you need more plants when your drop checker turns yellow green. Blue color/drop checker solution is a sign that your tank is not getting optimal CO2.
