Hi Sky,

With only a 5 gallon tank, you might only be able to add 2-3 more fish if any at all. For every gallon of water in your tank, you should only have 1 inch of fish. So if you had a fish that is 2 inches, then you could only have 3 more inches of fish in your tank.

...But with a betta, not at all.

Bettas don't get along with most other fish very well, and with only 5 gallons of water, you don't have many choices. This is actually a common question to come up on this forum. I think the most common suggestion is to add one or two african dwarf frogs (not african clawed frogs, they get large and would eat your betta).
