I have a 5g corner tank sitting in my garage that I wanted to set up in my daughters room for Christmas. I saw some endlers at petsmart and was wondering if those would be a suitable fish for the tank? If so, how many do you think I could get?
endlers in a 5g?

In a 5 gallon you could probably do 3 endlers.

I'd get all males though there like half the size of the female endlers and more colourful. And you don't want to be overrun with babies in a 5gal.
5 is even better, lol. Is it easy to tell the difference between male/female?
Another question- my daughter really likes plecos. Obviously not going to put one in her tank but is there something similar that might work w/ the endlers?

She got all males for her 6g. Females are larger and have no color. Males are small and have colorful bodies.
For a 5 gallon even an Oto would not work IMO. But why don't you look into the colorful Tiger Nerite Snails. They can't breed in freshwater and Tigers come in a couple colors and different patterns. I keep Tiger and Olive nerites.
Or another option if you go with Endlers you could get her some little Red Cherry Shrimp. She might find them alot of fun. But if you go that route I'd get a tiny piece of DW for the tank and attach alittle Java Moss on it for the shrimp.
