Ok have a look at endlers livebearers they are like guppys only Smaller and have lovely bright colours I love mine, you could always do guppys if you don't want babies this goes for all livebearers get all of one sex if you don't mind follow the 1male to 2female ratio. You could also get platys my son has two females in his 50litre they were pregnant when we got them and have had babies 3 times since very profiling little things haha. I wouldn't do Molly's they get too big for your tank Ive made that mistake. I use litres aswell but I think your tank converted is 15.5gallonsnits makes it easier for when you research and it's in gallons

So the male is the first one and the female is the second and it circles the difference.nThe make has a long rod shaped anal fin called a gonopodium and the female has a fan shaped anal fin.

No problems other fish you could look into is the sparkling gourami I have two they are so pretty. If you can find a trustworthy seller or site online you should be able to get any of these fish easy. Maybe start another thread asking if anyone closer knows a good online live fish supplier.

Also for bottom feeders you could have a look at Pygmy corys or panda corys. And there's always Dwarf ottos that would be good little algae eaters for your size tank. I don't know if you like snails but I have golden mystery snails just for something different.
