there are so many to suggest, so i'll ask for some guidance - what do you want from the cats? Something fairly active & diurnal? Something that's happy as an individual or a small shoal of something? Would you be happy with a fish you might not see a lot of?

I was gonna suggest a few or or maybe a cory species like . it would help to know temperature, pH etc
