Pair or trio of any of a lot of killi species - A. australe and Fp. guntheri aren't too hard to find locally, for example.

Some cherry barbs would be cool.

I want to know what I could put in a five gallon tropical tank apart from a Betta ?

Any suggestions would be helpful thanks.

The dwarf puffers would be fine, but never add ottos to a 5 gallon

Over in the Puffer forum ottos are often reccomended with dwarves, even in a 5 gal. But im not an expert, so if you want otos with your puffer, i would run it by PufferPunk.

I have a 10 gall with sime snails (watch them, they breed like mad), A molly, 3 swords, and a neon tetra (His buddies died). You mgith want to try 2 female swords, I wouldn't go over that in such a little tank. Maybe you could get a bigger one, and sell the old (Or stock it)- My 10 gall was about $15 more than a 5, encluding all setup costs. Bettas go well swords, by the way. (Mine does, you might have problems with a mroe agressive fish, mine barely reacts to a mirror)
