Hi.
You could have clown loaches (they are amazing)
Also you could have some sort of eel http://www.aqualandpetsplus.com/Oddball,%20Spiny%20Eel.htm
If you are not going for small fish.
Silver sharks (a big shoal would be nice)
weather Loaches (Doho loaches maybe)
Moonlight gouramis http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_moonlight.php (my favourite gourami)
Not as harsh shaped as others.

Red tailed shark http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_bicolor.php
a schoal of harlequins maybe http://badmanstropicalfish.com/stats/cyprinids_stats/stats_cyprinids1c.html#harlequin_rasbora
There are so many cyprinids that you could get I'll just post a useful link http://badmanstropicalfish.com/fish_stats/cyprinids.html#cyprinids
HTH

silver sharks get way to big for even the most advanced hobbyiest, meaning they need a huge tank!
ooh i totally forgot about the RTBS! i had one and I loved it!!
i thought about the moonlight gouramies... has anyone had good luck with them!?!
