5 gallon medium flow stocking

[idkausernamesoyeah]

I have a high tech 4.6 gallon tank with a canister filter that holds .5 gallons of water. Right now i have a betta, but he doesnt like the flow so i am moving him to another tank. Any ideas what i should stock the 4.6 gallon with? Needs to be something that is easy to feed and likes the higher water flow
Tank doesnt look great yet, trying to battle the cyanobacteria in front and introduce more red plants in the back

You could stock 4x male endlers (stick with males or that tank will fill up quickly!)

in my experience endlers work well. I have some in my betta tank right now and have the last three months no problems.

Just curious, but why not baffle the incoming flow so it won’t bother the betta? I have found a number of ways to modify the force of water outputs so as not to blow fish around like kites in a tornado - there’s usually a way to do it.

I’m not all that familiar with canisters like this one so a pic of the actual outlet for returning water would be helpful to see.

I originally had a baffle on it but the water flow through the tank was too muffled so the co2 didnt spread thru the tank, making the plants suffer. I kind of had to choose if i prefered the plant growth or the betta on this tank

There's a bunch of tiny rasboras and danios out there that would probably work. A few I've kept in tanks with a bit of flow (not too much) are Kubotai Rasboras, Chili Rasboras, and Celestial Peal Danios.
