Well done!
If it were me, I'd choose soft-water fish.
My water is very similar to yours. I do have a piece of Tufa/limestone rock in there but it doesn't make much/any difference - it's probably become inert over time or only increases PH if water is poured directly on top of it during water changes to 'activate' it (ie white powder released).
I generally opt to keep rasboras and tetras (lots of different species to choose from) which are ideally suited to water like this, as are corydoras. Let us know if you'd like some suggestions but, as a starter for ten / rough indicator, you probably could keep a shoal (8-10) of either harlequin rasboras or cardinal or ember tetras, a shoal of 8-10 panda corydoras and a pair or small group of honey or sparkling gourami. Hope that helps.
