How many guppies/mollies for 5 gal?

I think a 5 gal is too small if you want to try breeding, especially livebearers. Is there any way you can upgrade to a 10? A 10G will allow you to breed endlers and keep up to 20 in there. Although there are reports on endlersrus.com that you can keep up to 40 endlers in a 10G tank. Of course, you'd need large water changes weekly and all.

Endlers are like miniature guppies with a lot more color blotches
Personally, I prefer them over guppies.

IMHO, I wouldn't keep more than 10 endlers in a 10g, unless there were temporary fry...

definitely start with a larger tank.

Put white clouds in the 5 and get a bigger tank to use for breeding. A 10 with some naja grass or similar plant should do just fine.

If you can get a hold of one, try to get a 10g+... I have a few I'm not using, and I bet there are a few around you with some good deals as well.

No white clouds in a 5g.
