5 Gallon Stocking Suggestions

[FrozenFins]

Okay I have space on my racking system for one more 5 gallon. I was thinking of doing a high-tech planted tank with a fluval 3.0 nano, co2, etc. And I was thinking of doing a rimless tank. Anyways the tank I was looking at is exactly 6 gallons, but I will refer to it as a 5 gallon. 

I am needing stocking suggestions, I was thinking either

-Pea Puffer snail colony for him to hunt

-Sparkiling Gourami x2, Celestiral Pearl Danios x4 OR Chilli Rasboras x5 (I relize this is a tad bit overstocked but if I go this route I will defentley keep up on my waterchanges)

Let me know what you think, or if you have any other stocking suggestions (I already have a betta so, not another betta)

If it were me, pea puffer all the way.  I Love those guys.  Can you keep a snail colony going in the same tank?

I think Scarlet Badis are intriguing. I bet two Sparkling Gouramis and two Scarlet Badis would be compatible.

I've only been keeping sparkling gouramis for a relatively short time, but it's my understanding that it's best to keep larger groups to spread aggression out more.  There's a good chance just two won't work out well.

 I would get a betta for that size tank

Probably a betta, but (at least for me and in my opinion) I think its really hard to get a good schooling fish for a 5 gallon so maybe some chili rasbora, or maybe white clouds?
