Hi.
I have just returned to fishkeeping after a ten year break. I used to have 13 tanks in my one bedroomed flat, most over 200 litres and some as big as 600l, but I have just been given a tiny 27l tank to start again.
The reason I stopped last time was that I moved to Southern Spain where I have lived until 4 months ago when I returned to the UK.
I would like to have a few few small fishes, such as guppies and tetras, as well à maybe a shrimp or 2, but I have never had shrimp before so will be doing some research and would welcome any advice.
Oldie newbie

It’s too small for fish. You could keep a Betta (male or female) but I wouldn’t as they roam over quite a large area (and I won’t keep a fish on its own). It’s big enough for shrimp.

Welcome to the forum.
Have you found out how hard the water is? That will help you decide what to do with the tank.

Greetings & welcome to
Ornamental Shrimp - just remember, if it's small enough to fit into a fishes mouth it will be eaten.
