So I have a 20h aquarium not fully set up yet but I want to find out some options for stocking. I would love some small schooling fish. However I already have neons and rummynoses in another tank so I do not want them again. What are some other suggestions for small schooling fish and what would be an appropriate stock size? Thanks in advance!

There is a stargate in my aquarium.
Ember tetras are quite nice, as are harlequin rasboras.

Harleys are always fun to watch do their thing. You could do a micro tank with a bunch of smaller fish, like microrasboras or something. Rummys are always great!

How about Danio margaritatus, the celestial pearl danio. They would go nicely with Neons. They both like the same water, soft, Lower PH and cooler temp (72-74 degrees).

Lemon tetras are so pretty, so are Asian rummynose and regular rummys. But this is the winner:

Hmmm, I've heard of those and have actually been considering them for my nano. Yep, super pretty, I think you should go with the Danio margaritatus, Casey0421

I had to look them up because we have "pearl danios" at work. Different fish, but I've never seen CPDs anywhere. Going to ask if they can be ordered.
I agree with getting CPDs! They are a great fish. Check this video of the ones i had in my 20 gallon high tank:
