glassfish are boring IMO. In my tank they sit at the top (they don't like the light) and hardly move. Its hard to even see them because they're up the corner. Cool looking, yes, but in a larger tank they're just boring IMO.
I vote for the loach. I've always liked them, and they're not that expensive either.

I just read an article on the rubber worms in a magazine earlier today. They really are neat but are amphibious so they need really good water conditions considering it is absorbed by their skin. I was actually wishing I had a store nearby that sold them after I read the article. I read it in the latest issue of Tropical Fish Hobbyist. I don't think you'll find anything more odd than a rubber worm for your community tank! How big is the tank?
Well a few of the odball fish (imo) I have had have been an african butterfly which floates along near the top and loves to eat insects, a dojo loach (gold dojo for good contrast against dark substrates/backgrounds) but ideally they should be in a group although I have kept them singly in the past just fine... hmm guess i dont know many other oddballs that are active in the middle of the tank. There are some neat plecos and cats but most get rather large and hide most of the time anyways. My upside-down cats are over two years old and really havent ever been seen out n about in the tank - they are always hiding. The elephant nose is definately an odball but I have heard they like really calm tankmates or they get stressed. Well, good luck.
