You are slightly restricted by the size of your tank - active fish like Danio's and Rainbows tend to need a bit more room in the long term.
You might get away with a pair of German Blue Rams.
Like oldman says, have a look around your LFS (local fish shop) and make a note of the fish you like. Come home, post the list on here and someone will tell you if they're likely to be okay in your tank. Don't make the mistake of impulse buying though.
And just to check (sorry if it seems patronising) but have you read up on cycling the tank?
and i wondered if i could have about 2 clown loaches- i know they get big, but was hoping it would be ok

clown loaches are schooling fish and need to be in a large group and they would get to big for your aquarium, how about another smaller loach instead?
i was thinking of getting 3 corys as bottom feeders- would they be alright with tetra pro crisps or would i have to get them sinking tablets
am i just talking to myself?!
Depends on the substrate, I've got corys in a tank with pea gravel (I think thats the official name - small rounded gravel) and they're happy enough. I've toyed with the idea of redoing their tank with play sand though, it looks alot nicer and I use it in 4 of my other tanks.
