It was only ten mins since your first question, gotta give these things time!

Regarding your original question: What is the total volume of your two foot tank? If you wanted I'm sure you could set up a colony of shelldwellers or have a pair of kribs? Is the two foot tank the same one as in your signature (i.e. are you looking to add to your collection) or is this going to be a brand new tank?

Apistos, or other dwarf cichlids would be fine.

some smaller tetras or barbs would probably work well. i'm always a big fan of rams and harlequin rasboras; rams and neon tetras are also nice together.

i'd go with 1 pair of rams and 6-10 of the schooling fish i mentioned above.

--EDIT--
you'll need to get a filter that cycles at least 75 gallons per hour; go higher if you can. 100-150 gph would be nice. you always want to use a filter that cycles at least 3x the volume of your tank per hour, but you stock a bit more heavily if your filter does 5x-7x.

filter manufacturers, on the other hand, don't necessarily agree with these numbers ($$ ) and so you can't always trust that a filter is actually suitable for "10 to 20 gallon tanks". the actual gph should be listed on the box somewhere and you should use that to pick out your filtration.
