hi, does anyone know of a website that you can put your water parameters on and get a list of suitable fish?

Well, going off the fish you like, it might be worth looking at a South American biotope type aqauarium. There are tons of suitable fish that would fit in a tank of your size.

The Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate readings can be ignored at this stage, as your tank hasn't been cycled (unless you've fishless cycled it already, which seems unlikely by looking at your nitrate reading).

Your pH is pretty much neutral, so again, the variety of fish you can keep is rather large. The species you mentioned, tend to like a lower pH (6 - 6.5), but with many species being captive bred now, a wide range of pHs are tollerated and in some cases even prefered.
