    I also think the piece of driftwood you have is pretty cool!
    Are the shrimp hiding? Or just not in there as of yet?

    Very nice looking tank, My only suggestion would be to go ahead and fill it all the way up. It looks like it could hold another gallon or so of water.

    #4 looks to be some type of tetra, ember maybe
    #5 looks to be a CAE (Chinese Algae Eater) it will get big and aggressive, you may want to think about returning it.

    actually those fishes in #4 look very similar to harlequin rasbora... but instead of a triangle black marking... it has a longer but still triangular black mark on both side... and its about 1.3cm long only...
    #4 is actually an otto >.< I dont think otto would grow that big tho :x

    with clearer pictures I bet we might be able to tell you exactly what you have in there! That is, if you like :)

    #4 I woulda guessed the same (harlequin rasbora) by size & black marking alone...but maybe young red phantom that hasn't fully colored yet? too small looking to be serpae imo...shapewise maybe a red zebra danio (but they don't have black triangle markings- vertical lines)

    Defin. need some clearer photos!

    Ps. Otocinclus usually stay just under 2", How big is yours?
