It depends on what you're interested in. I would suggest a pair of German Blue Rams or Kribs because they're so much fun. Also a school of tetras would be nice. Maybe some shrimp, cories or otos for algae eaters? There are so many options but I would probably do:

-2 GBRs/Kribs
-6 Neon Tetras/ Glofish
-4 Red Cherry Shrimp or 4-8 Dwarf cories
- And maybe 1- a pair of dwarf gouramis

But really it's up to you.

the kribs and GBRs may eat the shrimp and GBR's need some pretty hard to achieve water parameters. Bolivians are a better choice. Also dwarf gouramis are more peaceful but still may be aggressive to each other.

The standard is jsuta group of schooling fish (tetras, danios, etc) a bottom feeder like cories or a dwarf pleco would work for you.. and then some centerpiece fish like dwarf cichlids of gouramis...
