To be honest, a big shoal of 1 type of tetra imo has far more impact that 5 of this and 6 of that.

I'd up the red eyes to 11+ and then 11+ black phantoms for contrast.

You would then have 2 really nice active shoals of attractive but contrasting fish.

An alternative would be to up the red eyes to 11+ then look at a shoal of pencil fish. They stay small, are very attractive and just a bit different. They are totally compatible with tetras and make a slightly usual addition to the tank.
