I do like my gold minnows. They are very active and still young. I suspect they will spawn next Spring. Meantime they are adjusting to the flashy little male Endler livebearers sharing their space, the silver White Clouds are much older and couldn't care less about who is in their water. Having produced a dozen fry I suppose they are well over these young things, lol.
You could try leopard fish, less likely to over run the available space, and a nice contrast to the minnows.
I believe mollies have been found near the hot springs by the motels. If so they arrived well after we left Taupo, I have spent many happy hours in a scooped dip down there and often fished out cooked fingerlings, but not mollies as far as I know!
