Yup, shrimp are about the only thing I can think of too.

You might get by with 2 or 3 Guppies or Endlers, but it's not much room.

There is a micro species of rasbora that would do well. They only get to be 1/2" long at most. Sorry, I only know the latin names of plants so I'm no help there. Also, if you do find them they can cost a pretty penny. Ember tetras are also very small.

I say go with shrimp also.
