Thank you everyone! We bought a betta today. His name is Bettamaxx. He seems to be enjoying his new home. :D
 
i have a 6 gallon tank, and i keep 3 plattys and a molly with 23 baby molleys that my one molly had like within an hour of getting home, so far, they all seem happy. i might upgrade to a 20 gallon tank sometime in the near future, maybe have 2, because i like the size and the tastefulness of my 6 gallon tank on my dresser. i dont think that you are limited very much by the 5 gallon tank, as long as you dont overcrowd it, and its better to get like 7 or 8 SMALL fish than 2 big fish.
 
Welcome to your new home, Bettamaxx! You have such smart parents. I thought the "another betta" suggestions were the best listed here for a 5-gallon tank. Here's to a long, happy, healthy life!
 
Soo sorry that was a friend. platies would be nice!!! very easy to take care of!!! :D
 
Another betta would be the best choice, since u already know how to care for one and dont u just feel so sorry for them because they live in cups (I have 6 bettas) :D
