So... 35gal, heavily planted.

6 ottos
3 amano shrimp
Cherry shrimp
Ramshorn snail infestation
3 zebra nerites

What else can i get?

I would prefer something small. 3" max. Obviously nothing that will eat my shirmp.

Please and thank you.

some tetras? Serpae, ember and silvertips are nice

Ooh, I might get some glowlight tetras. a large shoal would look great.

There is also a wide range of danios out there, they are similar to tetras. What about congo tetras they get to around 3". There is also threadfin & neon rainbows

If you don't mind livebearers, a red guppy or orange platy would look lovely. Even a shoal of von rio/flame tetras. When a tank is heavily planted, a bright red or orange fish always stand out and look really awesome!

If you want the baby cherry shrimp to survive I don't think there are many fish you can have. If your not so bothered then there are loads of options.

Ottos and most Plecs are definatly shrimplet safe but i doubt you want more alage eaters!

One fish i have seen recomended as shrimplet safe but don't have experience of are Threadfin rainbowfish. I was considering getting some but have now moved my CRS into what was the Betta tank and am now looking for tank mates for my betta in the big tank instead.

I was going to suggest neon rainbows or pseudomugil rainbows. Alternatively a bunch of Aphyosemion Killifish

 

[Esfa]

im not too bothered about the baby cherries surviving, as long as some do i'm no' carin'.

I really like those reaindowfish, but i have never seen any for sale near me

Would african dwarf frogs work, do you know?

if you have a pets at home near you , one that you can trust, they often have neon / dwarf rainbow fish, also maidenhead aquatics normally have them in stock on a regular basis, , you cold also ask your local / usual lfs to order some in, they sell quite well and they shouldn't have a prob getting them for you.

If you dont mind the drive the pets at home in portsmouth always have them, this store is one of the better stores and keep good healthy tanks and stocks, one of the staff they have (the chap that orders the fish stocks) is a real enthusiast and v knowlegable !!!! if hes having trouble netting a fih hell even talk to it to try coax it into the net, infact he like to talk to the fish in general, it is a store that i would recomend.

Got neither near me

I don't mind the drive, but I don't think the police would appreciate a 16 y/o driving.

Andover presumably means hard alkaline water, so the first thing that springs to mind is a large group of endlers.
