Your tank is on the smaller side.....so its going to be hard to get a good variety in there.

Yep, some tanks cost alot more than others. I usually just by generic rectangle tanks and then buy all my equipment separate....its cheaper that way and I can choose my equipment. Fish keeping is an expensive hobby, but its worth it.

You could try some tetras or rasboras (choose something smallish) and then get some shrimp and maybe a couple Otocinclus. Or you could go the Betta/Gourami and tetra route. That would allow some color variety.

You could get a few Dwarf Platies and maybe a shoal of Dwarf Cories if you can find them.

Really, once you get a school of something in the tank, you don't have much room for more than maybe a couple more fish.

Have you been to the fish store to see what options you have? Don't buy anything just yet....just see what is available.

Angelfish get too tall for your tank. 35cm is 14 inches and Angelfish can reach 9-10 inches.....plus with substrate/gravel in the tank, you lose some height......you cannot keep Angels. They need atleast a 20"/50cm tall tank IMO.
