Yes I’m looking to get a new tank but looking for advice on what to keep in a tank like that size stocked and healthy.
 
If you want colour you could try dwarf rainbow fish. The Pacific forktail blue eyes are my favorite. Of course livebearers (especially) platys have a lot of colour. Tetras are a nice cheaper option. Tiger barbs are beautiful when full grown against a heavily planted tank.
Or you can go in the other direction.
Make a blackwater tank. Lot of tannins and keep black neons in it. There are a lot of non-colourful types of fish that are beautiful in their own way as well.
 
I’m doing an apisto pair with some tetras, cherry barbs, pencil fish, and cories in a 40 breeder, you could something similar.
 
Apisto’s are beautiful fish! I got a pair of rams and 3 glass catfish so far! No room for a baby sea lion sir lol
