Well it does depend on what fish you were looking at keeping, assuming you are looking for community fish that all max out at around 3inches or less, i would reccomend adding around 33inches of fish.

sounds like your doing fine with the cycling, keep doing the same until the ammonia and nitrite levels have dropped to 0

Agreed. 33" of adult sized fish each no more than 3" in length will be fine. Loads of options for that tank. I'm quite a fan of Harlequin Rasboras. Are you fishless cycling the tank using ammonia solution and using the add & wait method from the link in my sig.
