I'm thinking of setting up a 5gal hex with a piece of driftwood and some plants. was just wondering on ideas for fish to put in there. was kinda thinking of a betta and a smaller species of pleco but not sure. any ideas are welcome
 
pleco in 5 Gal is a no no, they poo wayy too much for that tank. Really a betta is all I would put in there save a few neon tetra,
 
I have a similar setup in my kitchen:

5G hex, piece of (fake) driftwood with java fern, some water wisteria, currently (since 07/05) housing 2 male guppies and an apple snail.

Seems to work well for me.
 
No pleco. You really can't put oto's in either cuase they like company. A betta and mabye a small school of neon tetra's sounds good

Hrm a small school of neon tetras (six) would take up more space than three otocinclus cats.

A 5 gallon is too small for a school of neons. They get 1½ to 2" in size.
