    Thanks Chris

    The nano tank is still cycling so it has no inhabitants yet.
    The Lido has:
    4 x harlequins rasbora tetras
    4 x neon tets
    4 x pink danios
    5 x pencil fish
    1 x black neon tetra
    3 x small tetras (not sure of the name)

    Thanks guys

    GaryG I'm still not quite sure. I'm thinking of a few shrimp, would really love to get my hands on those amano shrimp. Any suggestions on fish? I think the most I could keep is three or four fish as its quite small.
