How about a school of 15-17 microrasboras? chili, emerald dwarf, spotted...they're all pretty, and you could fit a good sized school of 'em in a 20 gallon long
I'd go for a school of at least 6 pygmy cories and a big school of micro rasboras, like at least 15. I think Rachel (msjinkzd) might be ordering some chili rasboras soon, and those are gorgeous!
