i went to the store today and bought a 5 1/2 gallon fish tank and a whisper filter and a heater. i bought some very small gravel, not sand, and i put some small rocks in the corner. what kind of fish would go good in this small of a tank? i want to have something different than normal guppies of tetras. i was thinking a couple of freshwater puffers or maybe shrimp and another kind of fish? what do you think would make a good fish or invert to add that would draw attention to the tank? how about chiclids? i dont know much about them.or maybe eels???

Thanks.
