for a 5.5 gallon that is rather overstocked......me, personally, only use my 5 gallon tanks to house single bettas with a pair of african dwarf frogs OR shrimp with snails. those are the only stocking ideas i have as i do not keep many tanks that small. but there is a good website to help determine stocking level, compatability between tank mates, and filtration capacity. it is www.aqadvisor.com a member on here designed it, it is a very useful tool.

i'd nix the otos. and maybe the amanos. my amanos are voracious eaters (larger bioload than what it seems). maybe replace with a couple nerite snails or something.

I'm with the others on not having the otos in that tank. They're little guys but they do need a group and even for fish as small as they are they can produce an awful lot of waste.

Alright sooo how about im gonna do this 4 endlers and 5 red cherry shrimp the smart calculator says its 101% stocked but i think i will be ok considering ill have only males and the are smaller.

That sounds like a much better plan. :)

Yes i already have one oto though :/ i don't know if hes different or what because i added him to a uncycled tank (before knowing they are fragile) and he been alone for a little over a year and he is super interesting to watch. i dunno?

Ps. My filter is made for a 15 gallon tank so its pretty big.

i think your stocking list is much better! as for the one oto, i cant help you there as i have never owned them
