Hey everyone, I was getting bored, and I just moved my babie platys in to their big new home, and now I am left with 2 5gallons, and I dont really want to put a betta in there because well, i have had bettas for a while now and there kinda boring, but what else can i put in my 5gallon? I am opend to pretty much anything, fish, hermit crabs wtv, Just no mice mom hates them.

You mentioned that you'd had Bettas.... Male or female? Given the size (5gals) - it really doesn't lend itself to any type of spectacular stocking, however I would think a few female bettas would be rather nice.... Shop well and you could still maintain a colorful tank.... The only word of caution that I would have would be is to try and arrange your purchases at about the same time - because my past experience has shown that even females tend to get a bit territorial......

Or if none of the above interests you then maybe some of the smaller rasboras as being discussed in this thread:
