Decisions... decisions...!

So I have an opportunity to add some fish to my tank today... like in the next 2-3 hours. I currently have:

1 female kribensis
6 tiger barbs
10 cardinals

My options of fish to add are one of:

6 odessa barbs;
3-4 corydoras julii

I'm rather stumped. At first I wanted to add one male Kribensis but I am scared of what it would do to my tank if the pair decides to mate and breed. Not only would I end up with way more fish than I want but the kribs may start chasing everything in sight.

Tank is a 32G, planted.

Any thoughts?

The tiger barbs were the very first group of fish i added to the tank over a year ago and they were in a large enough group back then that they left the other fish mostly alone. I then added the female kribensis and when the barbs started trying to nip at her... she showed them who was the boss around! :) It's been a relatively peaceful tank since.
