I had madagascars rainbows, they are much too active for that tank and get surprisingly large! That tank is only 2 feet in every direction. Rainbow fish are VERY active only dwarf rainbow species would work in the space you have.

You could probably do 1-2 angelfish. they like high, they aren't swimming back and forth all day as much as some fish. cories would work, smaller tetra like glolight or black neons. a dwarf pleco, glass catfish, head standers. pencil fish...

I just saw some in a display tank at the local Pet Supplies Plus and thought they were very pretty fish. However, after seeing the reply from Noroomforshoe they might not be such a good option.

Madagascar rainbows are awesome looking and fun, but spent all day and night zooming through all 48 inches of my 55 gallon. a smaller similar looking fish like pencil fish would be just as awesome. I had some of those, they were a rescue. I was looking into getting more and they are a lot cheeper then rainbow fish too. They seem curious and not shy at all, but also not racing around like rainbows and danios.
