Stocking list for an 8 gallon

I recently moved my betta and 3 albino cories to my 4 gal. So now I have an empty 8 gal. I have to quickly fill it with fish or I'd have to sell it.

I've been thinking a lot and still have no idea what fish I should stock the tank with. Firstly, I need fish that won't jump (because I have no lid for this tank) and are active and colorful. I was thinking of breeding Guppies but still not sure.

Any great suggestions? I know members here have great opinions so let it spill out

Guppies would look awesome in an 8 gal.

Guppies would look cool, but you couldn't breed them in an 8 gallon. You'd be overrun in less than 6 weeks unless you let the fry be eaten, which defeats the purpose of breeding them! lol

You could go with just males, though. A trio of males with 4 kuhli loaches would look good.
