Tropical Fish Stock for Aqua40 5 gallon tank

Hi
Hoping someone can help me. I have an Aqua40 bow-fronted fish tank with Aquaflow 1 6watt filter, 27 litre/5gallon tank dimensions 37cm x 30 x 33cm.

I have the tank set up and just need to buy a 50watt heater from my local garden centre.

What fish can I stock in the tank please???? [blue][/blue]

In the past I've only kept goldfish so tropical is new to me - they are for my little girl to watch as she absolutely loves fish, so the more colourful the better.

Also advice on how often to clean the tank would be useful [blue][/blue] - am used to doing 20% weekly-ish changes with goldfish in the past. Do I buy a bottomfeeder to help keep the tank clean???? [blue][/blue]

Any books you can recommend??? or websites??? [blue][/blue]

Any help is appreciated
