what about danio? the smaller ones, they like the upper to mid levels of the tank and they wont eat any of the tank members.
Good surface swimming fish?

well if you want a true top dweller, I reccomend to go with hatchets if your tank is large enough, as although most are no bigger than medium sized tetras they are highly active and nervous IME, but are nice if you want an active fish to liven things up.
I have six marble hatchets, they're at the top 95% of the time, the other 5%, they're swimming at the mid-level or playing in the bubble wall. When they're not swimming, they're normally at the top though, they face toward the current from the hob filters and the bubble wall, so they pretty much stay in place. I don't think they're that active while at the top. I've been waiting to see them jump, none of them has. I figured they'd jump by now since everyone says they're very likely to.
We have one and he's always at the top, but he is definately not a beginner fish. They should be kept in small schools, are strict psicivores, and require a very large tank (75g min).
I alo have danios and they're great upper level swimmers. So are our gouramis. The mollies stay at the top for hours if they think they're getting fed
