I have a 20 gal long with 6 Zebra Danio's and 7 Neon Tetras. I'm
looking for another fish, something colorful or at least interesting,
to put in with them. I have tried Dwarf Gouramis but have had very
little luck. Both have died, and I noticed that they did have nipped
fins, so something the other fish might nip at might not be a very good
idea.

=========================
Three clown loaches would go nice as would a pair of pearl or blue
gouramis. Watch those zebra danios. I've seen them nip long fins on
male guppies, angel fish and gouramies.

Clown loaches are great but the aquarium's much too small. These fish
easily reach 6 fat inches, and in nature they reach 12 inches.

I like the blue gourami idea, but the OP should only get one, because
they're fairly territorial.

The OP should probably stick to "easy" and peaceful fish for the time
being. Platies or swordtails if the water is at least moderately hard,
perhaps a group of cherry barbs, a school of harlequins, other tetras
besides the neons, or cory cats/ 1 small pl*co as suggested earlier.
Another very interesting fish that I once had long ago, is the kuhlii
loach. I think web posts say they should be in a group, but mine was
alone and disappeared for weeks (buried in sand substrate).

Good luck to the OP, but the aquariums is pretty full already.

Hello Klane (OP), did you not start with a tiny Sponge Bob tank within
the last year and post here about it? If so, the 20 gal is a great step
forward - way to go !
