What other fish should I get?

After I finally get rid of my guppy fry, I would like to get one more fish. I'll have 4 male guppies (I'm keeping two fry), One ghost shrimp, and a sunburst platy. I have a 15 gallon tank with a Top Fin 20 filter...hasn't failed me yet. I got my tank on December 12, so no worries about cycling. I would like a different type of fish other than shrimp, platy, and guppy. Preferably from Pet Smart. *Temperature is 78 F. Two live plants, fake drift wood, large pink plant, small fake rock arch, a blue plant, and lots of floating plants. I have tried glow fish and tetras...they didn't work out. The tetras died because I didn't know anything, and the glow fish was sick when I got it.*

Update:

I was thinking a Honey Sunset gourami...I checked a stocking site and it said everything was ok. :S

    I would recommend adding a couple more platies of the same gender as your current platy.

    Bettas are not an appropriate recommendation because they are apt to pick on guppies, and vice versa.

    Tiger barbs are also not appropriate as they are known for being nippy and they have a 20 gallon minimum.
