    Angels get a bit large for a tank that size. Especially if you want a variety of things going on, I think your best bet is very small fish. The danios you have, or the Harlequin rasboras...they really are gorgeous, and add great movement in a tank.

    Dwarf corys and otocinclus are fun to keep if you have enough room for 2-3 or more, they have very cute social behavior and much prefer to be with more of their own kind. I have 4 otos in my dwarf puffer tank, and they huddle together during water changes, makes me smile every time. Do some reading on each fish you're considering and be sure to look at size requirements for each. There's always compromise with small tanks, but there are great options with nano fish. Our 10g has always been one of my all-time favorites, despite the size limitations. I don't remember if I mentioned it before, but von rio tetras are fantastic looking and stay small, I love them.

      neon tetras get about 15-20 and see them school. my tank is an all around i have the endlers everywhere, angels on top. yellow labs on the middle and bottom. and the tetra running around from the peacock. i have the perfect mismatch when it comes to mixing species.

        Personally, that is the kind of mix I'd avoid to save myself some troubles and re-homing down the road. But that's me. Maybe it'll work out for you.

                You don't have to keep shrimp on their own. My yellows do great with neons, celestial pearl danios, chilis, snails, and otos. I started off with 4 yellows that Tim gave me last October, and now I have 40!

                    Rick. That batch of cherry shrimp we gave you came out of a planted community tank, remember? They are in there with Von Rios, cardinal tetra, amanos, etc. etc. and doing pretty well...good enough for us to be giving them away! No doubt.

                    And hey, that's all I'm saying about your tank...you like it and that's what matters! But they're small now, and that mix probably isn't going to work out long-term. Which is fine. You want to upgrade. But to someone brand new to the hobby, it's much easier and pleasurable to stock a tank with things that will stay there. You know?

                      +1. Sounds good! I'm excited to see it when it comes together. We can also get you started with some Red Cherry shrimp if that's what you decide on.
