I have been looking on web for what type of fish I should get for my 25L/6.61gallons planted aquarium and I am curious what species you would recommend too.
I will filter the answers to fit the water conditions of my aquarium, but if you are curious they are: Cl2-0, pH-7.2ish, KH-10ish, GH-7, NO3-0, NO2-0.

Betta. What are the dimensions of the tank?

2 months old
Dimensions h25-l25-L40
With no filter, no co2, no fertilizers
Inhabitants 5 shrimps plus shrimplets, ramhorn snails mostly babys, and I want to get a nerite in the future, sorry for forgetting these.
If I had a tank that size I'd consider a pea puffer (maybe 3 if it's planted heavily).
I would love one but doesn't fit with the other inhabitants, sorry my bad.
Betta. What are the dimensions of the tank?
I was thinking about a female Betta in the longer future if everything goes well

A Betta will probably be your best bet. you might be able to do a small school of boraras, but they like blackwater, and water more acidic than yours.
 
There are many options for a tank your size with the inhabitants, don't worry! As previously mentioned, a Betta MIGHT be a good idea. Not all Bettas are the same, however. Over the past 6 years I've had males living together and females killing one another. Even worse, it's incredibly hard to determine whether one specific Betta would get along. I've had it happen before, and I've seen it happen since. So maybe they're not the best bet? Based on years of experience as well as intense research, I've composed a list of a few other inhabitants I'd recommend for a tank your size:

•Micro Rasboras
•Blue Eye Rainbowfish
•Endler's Livebearers
•Medaka Ricefish
•Lampeye Killis
•Ember Tetras
•Asian Stone Cats
•Celestial Pearl Danios

A few honorable mention that COULD work but probably won't either due to tank size or compatibility are...

•Domestic and wild Bettas
•Sparkling/Honey Gouramis
•Very small Corydoras
•Any form of small Tetra
•Mexican Dwarf Crayfish
•Pygmy Hatchetfish
•Freshwater Clams
•Fathead Minnows
•Pea Puffer
•Otocinclus
•Platies
•Killifish
•WCMM's
•ADF's
•Any others I didn't list

It is important to mention that although some of these species may work very well, any of these options could turn out to be a flop. This is why I highly suggest doing your own research, finding out who's kept these species successfully, maybe experiment a bit, and see where that goes. Hopefully this helps throughout your endeavors! Good luck, my fellow fish-loving friend
