Rams can be picky about water conditions too. If you're gonna go with a couple tetra schools and a bunch of corries you could do a few gouramis, rainbows, or angels if you like those. The blue crawfish that you want will definitely not tolerate any corries snooping around the bottom of the tank, and he would eventually start grabbing tetras as they go by as well.
 
For larger fish DeRo316 has some great ideas. Angels are a pleasure to have in any community tank and are not too hard to look after. Perhaps a larger tetra like a bleeding heart or a black widow would also suit you? Not huge, relatively easy to look after and again nice fish. Also it would mean you could have a more as they would not grow so large and like to group.
 
how about neons? i was at the beach this past weekend and watched some tiny fish wash to shore, and some of the folks i was with made a makeshift "aquarium" using the sand on the shore and we caught about a hundred of them, and put them in the sand-bowl and i loved the way they stayed close together and moved in unison... anyway, one of my friends told me that neons move like that... would neons have any problems with the fish that have been listed so far?

blkwdw, my heater has suction cups to hold it against the glass... and another reason i was confused about it being submersible, is on the box, it shows a picture of it (more of a rough drawn diagram) and it shows it in a vertical position, but completely under the water.. but i think i've decided to exchange that one for one that i know for a fact is submersible (it says so on the box)

Sounds like a submersible one to me, but better to be safe than sorry is always the best way to go.
 
alright... i've decided to keep the heater, i've removed all my live plants because of the 7 i had in there, only 3 of them were growing, and even those were just unattractive... so i got some fake plants to put in the 2 back corners (they're big, so they come out a good bit too)... and a big piece of driftwood in the middle... i also bought a stick-on back ground, and now my tank is awesome! i've still got my 7 danios, 5 cories, 2 blue gourami.. now all i'm going to get is a school of neon tetras, and another handful of cories (same species as soon as i figure out what kind they are) and i will officially be done with my tank, except maybe upgrading my filter, and getting a python system
