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.
From one 20G keeper to another - my vote is for three platies, or neon
rosy barbs, I have seen them in a shiney pinkish color or more yellow.
The barbs are more active than the platies and get a little bigger.

I have seen reports of Neon Rosey Barbs getting to 6 inches[1], and they
are a heavy bodied fish, and need much more swimming room than a 20
gallon tank can provide.
