yes, the fish bunny. The easter bunny that brings fish (apparently, according to my mom)

Well apparently, the fish bunny will be visiting me this coming weekend.. Hopefully, I can convince her to just go the route of gift cert. to the AWESOME LFS down near where she lives (I have a VERY good LFS up here, but the one down there is pretty awesome.)

Sometimes she'll just take me to the store and tell me to pick stuff out.. never good, because I'm not prepared to buy fish..

SO.... I'm getting ready for the weekend.. anticipating the FISH BUNNY and looking for help.. I've got a 29 g stocked currently with 6 neons, 3 female guppies, 2 male guppies, and 1 large snail (there are numerous tiny snails, but they don't seem to get any larger than an thumbtack before they disappear)

I also have 5 white clouds in quarantine because they are a recent purchase..but I want to get a few more of those little guys. So the list starts with a few WC's and maybe a few more neons.

Maybe cories? I would really like some shrimp, but I've never kept them before.. so maybe not?

Ideas?
 
If you want, you can get 3 more white clouds and maybe 2-3 more neons. 6 cories, the small-medium sized ones would be best (peppered, skunk, pygmy, dwarf, panda, etc). A few shrimp wouldn't hurt.
 
i was thinking shrimp, but i'm a bit timid jumping into shrimp (perhaps needlessly,but cautious none the less)

any tips on shrimp?
 
Have plenty of live plants, some hiding spots... Feed them veggies every now in then, algae wafers, shrimp pellets. They aren't hard to keep at all. Common shrimp that breed easily include green shrimp & cherry shrimp, while some that won't breed are ghosts, amano & red nosed shrimp (there are hundreds of species, but only a few are commonly sold).
