I have this container that i think is about 3 gallons, and i was hoping to put some fish in it, like just a few. I was wonderign what could they be? What type of Killi fish can fit in such a size tank?

Are you going to have a filter and/or heater? Most people would recommend a betta. Other options are an African dwarf frog, a few male guppies, or a few Endler's.

Killies would work in that sized tank but I'm not familiar with specific species.

I wouldn't suggest white clouds for that small of a tank. I wouldn't feel comfortable with them in anything smaller than a 20 gallon. They're schooling fish as well as active fish a 3 gallon just doesn't give them the space they need. I wouldnt' suggest tetras as they are schooling and you wouldn't be able to fit a school in a 3. Betta or shrimp, or ADF are pretty much your safest bet. And of course, plants .
