What fresh/cold water tropical fish swim at the top of the tank?

I have just set up a small fish tank and have fresh/cold water tropical fish ( loach/chiclid/cory/tetra/barb) in total 11 fish with most of them swimming at the bottom or middle of the tank. I would like some fish that swim around the top of the tank. Can anyone make some suggestions.

some species swimming at the top of the tank are gouramis, and danios, bettas (siamese fighters) and if you want a fish that almost always swims at the top, the hatchetfish and Butterfly fish. Due to having cold water i would only recommend the Zebra danio, or similar, but more often kept coldwater, The white cloud mountain minnow, both lively shoaling fishes. Good luck with fish-keeping!
