20 gal. tank, nice current, live plants and silk, want to keep shrimp and snail.

That is what I got, now I would love a colorful tank, with a few different fish, lots of movement. No aggression. Right now I have 3 black long fin tetras that are killing each other ( separating them) four red minor tetras, 3 red eyed tetra. They are going to my daughter, so I will have a cleaned out tank. Oh!! 6 cherry red shrimp I want to keep and one retrite snail. Suggestions PLEASE!!
 
If you are planning to have a colony of RCS then I would suggest some small schooling fish. A school of 6 Cardinal tetra's, maybe 6 fancy guppy males only, and 6 Panda Cory Cats. You'd have activity on all levels of the tank. Instead of guppy males you could do Endler's which are similar and brightly colored.
 
I would add some lowlight plants, more rcs and a shoal of 6-8 panda corys. If you want a peaceful centerpiece fish then do some homework if you want shrimplets.
