How big is your tank? You said 6 something gallons right?

Yup

Endlers would work in that. I think it's too small for the others you mentioned. You could upgrade to a 20 gallon on Craig's list for cheap and really expand your options without having a huge tank. Otherwise research "nano" tanks for ideas. Shrimp do well in those setups.

Yup, but unfortunately I don't live in the US, so no Craigslist or anything if that nature. And to be honest I'm not looking to upgrade for now. The nano stocking ideas are coming up with basically what I mentioned here, some are also suggesting white cloud mountain minnows, chili rasbora, and Daniel erythromicron, but don't know if their behaviour is that interesting

In a 6 gallon, you don't have a lot of options. I might suggest a planted cherry shrimp tank, could be fun. You can fit a whole bunch in there, up to 40 - 60.

Yup

I say in a 6 gallon maybe a shrimp tank or possibly if you have them in your area a pea puffer I find those cool

Shrimp are cool, don't get me wrong, but I can't lie when I say I'd like something more extra...

Or maybe some sort of small Tetra

We do! I love them. But in a six gallon I can only fit in one. Per the puffer expert (Cory from Aquarium Co op). And I want to get away from the one fish deal. Tough customer... I know

I do like green neons!

Have you seen black neons. Also I believe a pea puffer should be fine with a couple small fast moving fish like neons
