Harlequin rasboras are another option, as are the new galaxy rasboras but those are harder to find and pretty pricey.

Hmmm. My white cloud mountain minnows seem much more active than my neon tertas. Most of the time the tetras hide in the plants, but the minnows are out and active all the time. But they are in different tanks, so maybe there's some reason for that, other than the innate nature of the fish...
And the galaxy rasboras would be stellar for that tank. I have 5 of them in a 2.5 gallon tank. Well, they are supposed to be my daughter's fish, but she's only 4 years old so I look after them. They are nice fish anyway; they enjoy chasing each other through the plants.
