How about some Rainbows? They come in varying sizes and colours and are
fascinating to watch...the one drawback is that most of the places round
here only stock young fish so you don't get an immediate payback - it
took around 6 months (IME) for the Boesmans and the reds m to come into
their full colours - these might grow a bit large eventually for a 36G
though

BTW I am biased...starting to collect rainbows at the moment and love
them to bits. Even the smallest I have (Blue Eyed Getrudes) are full of
personality and character...
Collection so far:-
6 Boesman rainbows
2 Red Rainbows
15-20 Blue Eyed Getrudes
13 Celebes rainbows - these shoal together...
Another option with a high pH and hard water might be African Cichlids....
