Default Good tank mates for Black Tetra?

I have a 30g and am looking to add 6-8 Black Tetras, 6-8 of another schooling fish, 4 Dwarf Frogs, and a Bristlenose Plec. What would you guys think would be an ideal tank mate for these Tetras? I was debating between Cherry Barbs, Zebra Danios, or Neon Tetras. Thoughts? Another fish I should look at?

I have mine in with Three-spot Gourami, Red-eye Tetras, and Rasbora. The 4 species pretty much ignore each other.
