Inverts, Coral(depending on what lighting you have), and possibly a small fish such as a Goby.

a fish in a 5 gallon No way. well maybe a neon. but that would be it...... if your going with a 5 there is really no room for fish. i would go with zoas and shrooms. maybe some soft corals if your lighting and filtration is good. but i would do much as far as fish go.

Yeah I wouldn't try a fish. You could do small shrimp or a mantis or something

A small fish such as a Trimma, Clown, or Masked Goby would be fine a 5 gallon tank. The largest fish I would keep in a 5 gallon would be a 1-1/2" Goby. Small Gobies are not very active as they mainly perch on structure, and contribute very little as far as bioload is concerned. With adequate filtration, and a good maintenance schedule it is possible.

Just my opinion.

I have two happy little gobies in mine. a yellow waqtchman and a red banded. Liveaquaria.com has a list of nano friendly fish. check it out
