5 Gallon stocking ideas

[TaxBaby16]

So I just got a 5 gallon, I was suggested a pea puffer but it seems I wont be able to add any other fish or snails to it and I absolutelly hate the idea of cleaning such a small tank
What other fish could I stock this with that would create enough balance to keep water levels stable

How about a nicely planted betta tank?

You could get 5-6 chili rasboras and start with 6 shrimp, soon the shrimp are going to populate and you could feed baby’s to larger fish to control the population.
