5 gallon hex stocking options?
I have a 5 gal hex tank with 4 small endlers in it. Is there something else I could add to the tank. It is filtered and heated and I do weekly vacuuming and water changes. I had a male betta in there but moved him to his own tank. I know the tank is small but I really want to add another fish, something a little unusual. I welcome any suggestions. Will choose best answer.

Adding anything else could overstock it but you could add a bumblebee goby and add some salt. The endlers should handle it fine.

5-gallons is not large enough for Endler's, they require a bare minimum of 10-gallons. Your aquarium would be perfect for a single Betta only.
Definitely no more fish. If you upgrade to a 10-gallon you'd have a few more options.
Here's a good site for 10-gallon compatible fish, along with some good stocking ideas:

An Oscar, 2 Goldfishes, or 1 Arowana would be great!
