picked out fish :)

A compilation I would personally choose for a 12 gallon would be:

-6 neon tetras
-4 pgmy cory cats
-maybe 1 or two dwarf gouramies but that might be overstocking

if you do get rams, get bolivians. a little less colorful, but hardy.

I second the Bolivian Ram comment. I personally think the guppies would ruin the aesthetics of the tank, but as far as the too many fry question, I would think that the Rams and tetras would take care of that issue (yummy, yummy, yummy, I got babies in my tummy)
