Thanks for the welcomes. The tank is 100 litres. Lovely community you have here.:):fish2::(

Great, thanks for the responses. We came back from the fish shop with 8 neon tetras, 4 zebra danios, and a Japonica Amano shrimp (we think this is around 50% stocked - 100L tank) All the fish look great, quite active, bright colours on the tetras, all water parameters still looking fine after...
