While I wouldn't put a lot of fish in a 5 gallon tank, if you restrict yourself to a few small fish, you might be OK. Take everyone's opinions, do your research and make up your own mind.
I find that insulting to other hobbyists on here. Many have years and years of exp and know alot about this and some are even professional breeders. I agree everyone should do their own research and decide but I don't believe a noob to the hobby should be giving people advice to take others advice with a grain of salt.
