Theres not many options when it somes to stocking a 5 gallon tank, but what about a single betta? CPD's, Sparkling gouramis, endlers, or shrimp?

Try some Dwarf Puffers. They are so interesting to watch, especially when you're feeding them snails.

I wouldn't recommend a puffer for a 5g tank. They recommend 15g tank for dwarf puffers, then 1 puffer per 5g. Puffers are very intelligent and do better in a complex enviroment. They will often be picky and eat only live foods like snails and blackworms.

Betta, or some shrimp/snail combo would porbably work well in your tank.

Lots of folks asking about puffers lately, heheh. Here's a recent thread with a lot of good puffer info: Info about puffers pleasel. The three main things you wanna keep in mind for dwarf puffers are that -
A) These little guys can be terrors when they don't have enough space. 5gals per puffer, minimum. I wouldn't add any tankmates(outside of shrimp) in a 5gal, single puff tank.
B) They really will only eat worms and snails. No flakes/pellets/wafers/etc and keep up on the water changes because they are messy eaters.
C) Their tank must be interesting and natural. You can't throw some rainbow neon gravel and a pink castle into a tank, toss in a puffer, and call it done. They will freak out.

Or don't put in a puffer at all.
