Well, I'd add a few more neons (they really enjoy groups of 6 or more), and then maybe go with some platies or mollies, or swordtails. They all are beautiful fish, to me at least.

wcmm are small and colorful. maybe them?

edit white cloud mountain minnows.

In a 20, you've got a lot of options Do you want some smaller, active fish and some bigger fish, or all livebearers? My tanks similar, so far it has 6 cories and 4 glowlights (did have 6 but two died). But I'm putting in a pair of kribs and some danios, and maybe a molly and some guppies after I've tried breeding them (don't ask, experiment. look on Hybrids forum if your interested).

If I had a larger tank (I only have a 10-gal), I would definitely get some Zebra Danios! They're awesome... very active and the stripes are too cool. They're so active, though, that they need more than 10-gallons. One day, though, I'll have a larger tank...
They're not livebearers (that I know of) but they are great. And they are hardy and inexpensive too. They sell for about $1 each around here (South Carolina).

if you want small and active fish you can get a few harlequin tetras.i have some and they look amazing in a shoal.

if you want something bigger get some platties(but be ready for fry)

thanks you guys GREAT ideas keep em comin

You can always get male platys, then the fry problem won't arise. Or if you are relaxed about the little ones providing mummy and daddy with a nutritious snack, you should be ok.
