Well... pretty much any fish is fun to watch. Give it enough time, you'll know all their quarks, and their little habits.
I'd say from personal experiance, cichlids would be the most interesting, because they seem not necesscarily the SMARTEST fish, but the most human-interactive ones.

I saw some giant danios at the Petco here that had really interesting markings on them. They would be cool to keep, but I won't have a tank big enough for them for a long time. I have to second the vote for dwarf puffers though. They are the hot topic on this forum suddenly, and I would love to have some. A five gallon with 2 DP and a couple otos or ADF will definitely be in my future.
If you are talking small tank and you want interaction, there are many cool looking livebearers out there that make for an awesome community tank. If you have something a little bigger, a figure-8 puffer would be fun. Or maybe a semi-agressive tank with some barbs and a rainbow shark. Bottom line, when done right, any tank with any fish is interesting to watch.

i agree, corys are fun to watch, energetic, clumsy (a while ago i left rubber bands from my when i bought my plants in the tank and one of my albino corys went through it and it got stuck around his body lol it was funny to watch and it came off by itself) but if you're a light sleeper then i wouldn't advise getting albinos if the tank is right by your bed because they have a tendency to rush really fast to the top of the tank and back down, the splashing noise is semi loud since mine are full grown about 2.5-3in. and they crash into the tank sides too. peppered corys are good. Dwarf Puffers are also good and i agree with the others that recommended them. i want a couple also but not atm. i'm in to koi now. but Polypterid Senagulus (spelling?) are really interesting fish! i love them! google the name in images and you'll see what they look like. they're carnivorous and will eat small ghost shrimp, and they like shrimp pellets, nocturnal though and can be active during the day too. they have albinos as well as other colors though. Definitely would be my pick if i could get another
