Well if you've run tanks before and know about the processes involved, cycling etc. Then take a look at dwarf puffers. Those little guys are cute little buggers and they prefer slighty brackish (Salty) water. They are a bit finicky though and are hard to feed which makes it a little difficult for some. They look cool though!

If you just want easy to care for fish take a look at a pair or trio of killifish. Google killifish and you will find a TON of different species. They are fun to watch, breed (if you want) and are very beautiful. You can do a lot more than you would think with a 5 gallon you just have to be sure to have it filtered properly.

You can always go with a betta and make it kind of a fancy tank for him as well, but you're only able to keep one per tank

Guppies are small and colorful. Plus if you're looking to breed, they're the fish to get! (trust me!! )

i wouldnt add guppies into a 5 gallon, too small
the most common set-up for a 5g is a fancy betta tank, i personally like these but other fish can live in a 5 gallon too (not with the betta)
a large shoal of bumble bee gobies would look nice, or what about a shrimp only tank?
