So I went to the pet store today and the following are a list of possible tank mates for my blue tetra. I've noticed that the blue tetra are nippy during feeding, other wise very docile. They are very active swimmers and dart all over the place too. I don't know if the high activity would stress any of the following. Any input, thoughts, or suggestions? The tank is my 20long as described in my sig.

Here's the list:
Glass fish
Sunburst Platy
Red Wag Platy
Mollies (Black, Silver, or possibly Dalmatian)
Asst. Fancy Guppy (?)
 
If you are talking about conchu blue tetras, I have a group of them in my 46 Bf community tank. I keep them with glass cats, sids, rasbora hets, von rios tetras, hummingbird tetras, half beaks, and a bunch of bottom dwellers. Never seen any problems with any of them. Even have a figure 8 puffer in with them, and all seems OK. Been that way for over a year. Good luck.
 
Yep, cochu blues! They're cool fish. Mine are just a little aggressive during feeding compared to the species in my other tank. I think I might actually put them in the other tank and make the 20L a platy tank, with the exception of the 2 oto's.
 
I've got some blue tetras with my neons, black neons, discus, cories, and plecos. They only get "nippy" if they haven't been fed by noon. :D
