I was planning on using an old 5.5 gallon tank to house a Blue Crayfish for my daughter. I wanted to do a planted tank as well. Upon doing some research, it seems that a Blue Crayfish in a planted tank would be a bad idea along with the tank size. What would be a good plant friendly fish for this size tank besides a Betta?
 
Look into Mexican dwarf crayfish - they are generally plant safe and stay small. I wouldn’t mix one with a betta though.
