For a fairly cheap setup, try common guppies. The kind that are often sold as food for carnivore keepers are quite cheap to buy and are delightful fish in your tank. They are often more colorful than the expensive highly developed fancy guppies but don't have the big tails and fins.

Id go for platies,they are nicely shaped and can come in a whole variety of colours. If you get 3 males and 7 females of all different kinds then you will see some intresting fry (which you will have to rehome)

Im getting 4 platies (1M3F) for my community which im stocking soon and ill be getting all different colours such as (1 sunset,1 micky mouse,1 blue,1 white)
