The following fish are considered to be community tank fish
Neon Tetra
Cardinal Tetra
Zebra danio (Which you have already)
Tiger Barb (But I advise 4 or more as they can be aggressive to other fish if they don't have company from the same group. Single barbs may attack other fish in shoals they are fine as they chase one another just for fun)
Serpae Tetra
Black phantom Tetra
Black Line tetra,
White Cloud mountain Minnow.
Rummy Nose Tetra
Glolight Tetra (which you have already)
Platties
Sword Tails
Guppies (Sometimes extremely difficult to keep, but never if you have Tiger barbs as the barbs will eat the pretty fins of the guppies)
I have 11 years of experience with tropical freshwater fish.
Depending on the size of the tank other than 2 ft 6in long I would need to know how high and how wide from front to back.
Based on a 2ft x 1 ft x 1 ft tank you can have up to 29 fish in it but this golden rule should never be broken you need 6 inches of swimming space per inch of fish so if you have a fish that is 2 inches long you need 12 inches of swimming space. 29 fish of the size of a neon tetra is tha absolute maximum that this size tank will take. I have a 2ft x 15 inch x 12 inch tank with an under-gravel filter living plants with 30 fish in it. I also have aeration in the tank other than the bubbles from the under-gravel filter.

Tetras will do best if kept in odd numbers of 5 or more because they are a schooling fish. Also,Giant Danios will eat small Tetras if given a chance like most fish they consider anything small enough to be eaten as potential food but generally they are very peaceful... i suggest a few Rainbow fish,Black Mollies or even a female Beta

Try some more Tetras, and a couple Black Mollies, they are prety friendly with other fish - perhaps a Red Tail Shark, they stay quite small and are very active - you dont want to overload the tank with fish... and maybe a Plecostomus (sp) - they eat the algae on the glass, helping keep the tank cleaner - enjoy!!

I kept a pair of Kissing Gioramis in a similar tank with tetra neons and zebra danios. They are lovely oval shaped gentle fish, if you get a pair they will kiss eachothers lips all the time. They are my favourite fish.

Sword-tails or Mollies would be hardy fish to add and fun to have.
