Well go for a group of neons, platies, angel. What type of fish do u like? It depends.

I've always enjoyed Tiger barbs, mabye get a nice shoal of 6 Regular tiger barbs, 6 green tiger barbs and 6 albino tiger barbs... Let's see what else? Zebra Danios are quiet active, may not be that colourful, but I find them nice looking none the less...

threadfin (Pseudomugil) rainbows.

very interesting looking fish and fairly rare which you seem to be drawn to.

I love South American community tanks, you could put a school of neons, angels, a ram or two, cories, hatchetfish, plecos etc. Not extremely colorful but it makes for an interesting mix. Or a cichlid community tank, with just different rift valley chichlids, they are way colorful with entertaining personalities.

i was thinking something along the lines of

9 sterbai corys
12 rummynoses
2 rams
2 kribs
10 congo tetras
10 emporer teras
