What else can go in a 5 gal tank other than a betta?

It has a heater and lots of plants (vals, dwarf amazon swords, java fern, hairgrass, parrot feather).....



I already have another 5 gallon with white clouds and a betta, I was just looking for something different....





I asked this question earlier, I was just hoping for some more suggestions to chose from...



Any suggestions?



Thanks a bunch

I like Glo-Light Tetra's, or Rasbora's, or Long Fin Red-Minor Tetra's.



Those will do well with a Betta, because I have them in my 250 gallon.

Platy's, Molly's, and Guppies will also do well with your Betta.



I'd only get like 1-2 fish, 5 gallon would get some serious Nitrate levels sky-rocketing.

Reply:absolutely nothing can go n a 5 gallon tank. not even a beta. having a relatively happy life would b n a 10 gallon tank.
Reply:I would go with 5 or 6 neon tetras, or maybe guppies but then again they breed like crazy if you get males and females, any small tropical fish would be ok in there
Reply:you can put a neon tetras in there or a female Betta nothing else because it will be overstocked.
Reply:Personally, I feel that a 5 gallon tank is too small for a tropical community or for any fish other than a betta. I would only be comfortable adding an apple snail or a few ghost shrimp into your 5 gallon tank. I would also avoid mixing white cloud minnows (cold water fish) with tropical fish. Minnows need plenty of swimming room and a 5 gallon tank is a bit cramped in my opinion.



If you cannot upgrade to a 10 gallon tank, then I would only recommend a single male betta or a dwarf gourami in a 5 gallon tank. Apple snails and ghost shrimp would be safe tank mates. Guppies need 10 gallons due to adult size, breeding and waste production, dwarf puffers need a 10 gallon for swimming space, tetras school and need at least a 10 gallon long tank for swimming space, any livebearer needs a bare minimum 10 gallon tank. You are seriously limited in your options.
Reply:I would go with some neon tetra and some danios.
