Answer
Hey katie

Well you could have

a shoal of 12 tetras ( neon, black neon, glowlight, lemon)

and a shoal of 6 or 8 cherry barbs.

You could also try a group of 6 corydoras catfish, they school on the tank floor nicely.

Try a trio of clown or khuli loaches.

I like having a large shoal of danios.  i have 13 zebra danios and they school lovely.

Hope this helps    jack
