I need some advice on what I should stock a 5 gallon aquarium with. And what are some good plants for me to get with these fish?
 
-single betta
-pair of killifish
-group of male Endlers
-pair of scarlet badis
-school of nano fish (micro rasboras, dwarf amber barbs, chili rasboras, etc)
-shrimp

What kind of light is on the tank?
 
Here is my Current Solo 5g. First planted and today. I have corydoras habrosus and dwarf emerald rasboras, maybe a scarlet badis left in there. Be careful because small tanks can go south real quick if one thing gets out of wack. Needless to day I grow excellent algae. The habrosus spawned once and I think I initially used root tabs but almost never any ferts go in it. This jungle came out in less than a year.

Smaller varieties of anubias, maybe small crypts if you want to bother with root tabs. Marimo moss balls. I have mine full of Najas or guppy grass.

Najas grass is great and definitely underrated in my opinion!
 
A single betta fish is really fun. You could maybe have a snail in there with him. 5gals are a great size for one betta, but only one. They're very friendly and curious if you get to know them.

I personally love nano shrimp tanks. I have a saltwater nano shrimp tank, but have been dying to set up a freshwater one. Bettas a great fish too though. You can find some really stunning ones on websites like aquabid. They are trainable too.
