New 5 1/2 gallon

[Jebus]

I just bought a 5.5 gallon glass tank, and i was wondering what i should put in it (no saltwater) i was thinking of putting in a pair of goldfish, or making another tropical tank (i already have a 10 gallon) right not im cycling the tank, so i won't be getting the fish anytime soon, so suggestions are needed

gold fish need more space than that.

i would use it for fry.

sadly two goldfish would need a minimum of a 30 gallon tank. how about a nice betta?

i was thinking about betta, but i was hoping i could do something different with this tank, like some weird fish or something different
what are the two biggest fish that i can fit in it? just wondering....

you could probably put a betta in there, with some dwarf frogs. or maybe a trio of male guppies? that would be colorful. or a male and two females if you wanted to breed them.

im in the same situation currently except im with a 29g now cant decide was thinking some african cichlids possibly - or uhm yellow lab,Electric Yellow Cichlid basicaly something compatible with kribs since i want to breed them i dont know if they would be ok to breed in my other tank currently (but yet...still searching for a female krib)

Make it a heavily planted tank. I mean HEAVY. Then add 3 or 4 otos with maybe 3 or 4 pencilfish, small tetra, or cleaner shrimp for a "hint" of life in your aquatic garden.
