i would say get some kuhli loach if you have a relatively small tank but if its a decent size 20 gal + then go for corys, i also like black phantoms they are black tetras, or even a male guppy or harlequins the choices are endless, good luck

I like Corydoras Catfish and Ghost Shrimp the best.
Ghost Shrimp are pretty lenient as far as tank conditions, 55-85 F, the water can be stagnant, shallow, deep, there can even be salt in the water. As long as water quality is good (Ammonia:0, Nitrite:0, Nitrate:Under 40), they’ll be fine.
Corydoras Catfish are less lenient, they prefer to be in groups of at least 3, they don’t like salt, they don’t like any copper-based medication, they have less of a temperature range, 72-82 F. But, they are very friendly, interesting, and clean up better than the shrimp do.
