Interesting fish for a 10 gallon freshwater tank?

Well, my 10 gallon is finally established, but I am a little disappointed. My tank looks amazing, but my fish (6 black neon tetras, 1 male dalmatian molly and 1 cory catfish, along with a few shrimp and snails) aren't very entertaining. My tetras stick together in one corner, and my molly stays near the surface with minimal movement. I was thinking of moving the tetras to a 29 gallon, and I need some good replacements.
What are some cool fish that look nice and are fun to watch?
So far I am getting 3 zebra danios and 1 female dalmatian molly, what else should I put in there?
Larger species are OK, as I will relocate them to a 29 gallon once they grow.
thanks
to see my tank, youtube search "Black neon tetras 10 gallon tank" its the first one. tell me what you think
Ok I will add some plants soon and post another video of how the tetras are doing; hopefully they will start swimming around if not they are going to my 29 gallon
like I said I will move larger fish (including the molly) to a 29 gallon once the time comes so size doesn't matter
 
Mollies grow too large for a ten gallon tank.
Cories are meant to be kept in groups.

I am against adding only three danios. Danios are schooling fish and should be kept in a group of at least six, and require more swimming space than a ten gallon allows.

A dwarf gourami would fit nicely in a ten gallon.

~I went and watched your video. Your tetras may be stressed which would explain their lack of movement. Some plants will make them feel more secure.
