I have a 5 gallon hex tank from Wal Mart and do not know what I can put in it. I made some choices, but people told me I was overcrowding. I recently moved the 2 sunset coral dwarf platies into the tank yesterday and they seem to be fine. What other fish can I put in with them? Yes, I know their arent that many choices, but I just like being a fish hobbyist. Just to let you know I'm not a beginner, I already have an 18 gallon tank that I just moved the platies from. My mom says I can't move anymore fish into the tank from the 18 gallon.. If you have any advice on keeping the fish you suggest please let me know! Thank you! :-)

First cycle your tank like the rest said and then put more fish in but you're cutting it really close. Add a small 3inch fish or a two inch fish that's not going to grow more, like a marble hatchet fish.
Is that nice enough for you?

Once the 5 gallon has cycled I would recommend a couple of small cory cat fish. That would be about all you could squeeze in.

In the 5 gallon, 5" of fish... maybe one more platty. They need to school. 2 isn't enough.

Your tank is already clouded, and you will probably see high ammonia levels pretty soon. I suggest you cycle your tank before overcrowding.
