20 Gallon long stocking idea?

So i just want opinions on this stock of a 20 gallon long planted aquarium (dirtied and low tech). I've had it cycling with used media for 2 weeks and will probably wait two more weeks before fish. I have six guppies (3 male 3 female) I got recently from another aquarist. I wanted to put them with a dwarf gourami, ghost shrimp (several), and trumpet snails. The tank is at 75 F and I want a good schooling fish. I want to stay away from tetras because i fear them nipping at my guppies fins. Any ideas. Maybe zebra danios?

    A planted tank does better with only a few fish.

    If you want to focus more on fish, you could try adding 6 harlequin dashboard. They should get along well with a dwarf gourami and guppies. That said, guppies are best kept either all males or one male to three females. Be prepared to give the girls a break if the males start chasing them too much.
