zebra danios are really active zippy fish, I find I like them best in a school of their own or they tend to create traffic jams and look chaotic in smaller tanks.
If it were me I would do either 8-10 danios or 8-10 tetras and a small group of 4 to 6 cories on the bottom, or alternately a group of small loaches to balance out the top and bottom of the tank.
That said my orange von rio tetras seem to stick to the bottom levels of the tank more than the top, so maybe 8 danios and 4 of those would work.

so ur saying 8 danios and 4 tetras? cause i already got 2 black skirts cycling the tank right now..and what about loaches u said? i didnt get that part sorry :/
4 black skirts with some danios should be fine, Danios give me a headache though and IMO are really chaotic when with other schools of fish
loaches-
you could do some small loaches like kuhli or dojo loaches on the bottom half if you don't like cories
maybe yoyo's as well but they might get too large.

If you do loaches, get a species that remains relatively small. Maybe yoyos? Those max at 4" or 5" as opposed to the 16" clowns
how many black skirts can i fit in the 24gal? and i want to get an alge eater, what kind should i get?
