Guppies are good starting with males only is good. Cory catfish are nice. I keep three just remember albinos are practicaly blind. An emperor tetra would look nice but PH affects everything. Do you want top dwellers middle region bottom region. A female Betta on average will work nice.
Hardy tetra are a good first tropical fish. Some like the x-ray tetra and the von rio fire tetra are good for most water types (pH and hardness). If you know you have very hard water, then livebearers will be the way to go. Avoid guppies unless you can find them from another hobbyist. Due to tons of inbreeding ones from the petstore are very fragile.
If you can give us your tap water hardness and pH we can make some more suggestions for you. There are fish that are easy to care for if you have the right water for them.

rasborsas, cherry barbs, hatchet fish, neon tetras, otos, black neons, black skirted tetra, and bleeding heart tetras are all very manageable community fish.

I would not reccomend hatchets and barbs.Cory catfish or Otos great
