What about some blue rams? They are really colorful and personable. With a pair in a 30 you could also have a small community of cories and tetras.
Here's a picture of my male I used to have. He was one of my favorite fish I've owned.

^^Great idea. A pair of rams(Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) with some cory julii (corydoras julii) and amber tetras (Hyphessobrycon amandae) would be awesome. Rams are cheap and readily available at most LFS'.
I am kind of over rams...not the biggest fan of them. I do see them all the time at my lfs
I like the banded acara though

acaras are the way to go, even the smaller ones are pretty active and have more "personality" than rams IMO
yeah but how big do they get? (the banded acaras)

You could definitely get a pair of angelfish in a tank of that size, or maybe try some apistogrammas.
Any of the smaller centrals from the genus' Archocentrus or Cryptoheros would make a fantastic start. Very vivid colouration in most species, reasonable demeanour, and a good size for that setup.
I'd personally go for Apistogramma sp. but they don't seem overly popular around here, too small apparently!
