schooling colorful non-fin-nipping fish recommendations?

I had 9 red serpaes in the tank before. I added 12 cardinals today. The angel hasn't touched any of them yet. They're still small so I hope raising them together will make it alright.
 
An old wizened fishkeeper once told me, "If a fish in your tank is small enough to fit inside another fish's mouth, eventually nature will take its brutal course."

:evil_lol:
 
Keep us posted!
 
12 cardinals are doing just fine... they school and somethings run around whent he angel floats by. i'm done stocking my tank right now 12 cardinals, 1 angel, and 6 cories. pretty full for a 29g
 
I think Harlequin Rasboras look gorgeous in a tank. I've never seen mine nipping at anything but food. :) They may not get as big as the fish you had in mind, but you can just get more of them.
