Nano fish that wont hide

Hi Everyone,

I have a fairly heavily planted 15 gallon tank with 10 CPD and 10 Cherry shrimp. The CPD rush and hide with any movement (which is constant with kids...).

I just finished cycling a little 5 gallon Iwagumi tank and want something more active and less shy. I am debating between Neon Tetras and Harlequin or Porkchop Rasboras. Does anyone have any recommendations between the two? 

 

Thanks!

Endler's Livebearers would be a good choice - I've raised them mixed with shrimp and both populations grew.  As would any of the smaller rasboras - add emerald to your list.  I think a good sized school of cardinals would be a bit big for a 5 gal tank.  You'll want at least 6-8 for a schooling fish, so I'd stick with fish that stay 1" or less.

So I just got some green rasboras (http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/microdevario-kubotai/) and they are not shoaling or hiding. Smaller than Harlequins. They (8?) Are with furcata rainbows (http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/pseudomugil-furcatus/).

Maybe something to think about?
