I have a five gallon tanks and am looking for ideas for fish to put in it. I have a Coralife Freshwater flourescent light for it that is good for live plants. I was thinking about a betta and maybe some anubias. I don't have a filter for it and am looking for ideas for a good power filter. Please respond to this thread if you have ideas for fish that would be ok in a 5 gallon and maybe some live plants too. Thanks in advance!
 
Personally I would think that neons, although small, would need a little more room to swim. Maybe a pair of killifish? If it were me, I would go with a betta and maybe some ghost shrimp(betta may eat them) and a brig snail or 2.
 
1 betta or dwarf gourami, maybe 1 otocinclus algae eater, maybe an apple snail?
 
if its the only resident, fine.

That would probably be too many fish. You don't want to overstock your tank, or you will have enough problems to make you want to give up the hobby altogether. The rule of thumb for most fish is one gallon per inch of fish, not counting the tail.
 
yes, that would do fine, my friend. just make sure it's properly cycled afore the fishes go in.
