What types of fish can I put in a 5 gallon tank?

Alright. I have a nicely set-up 5 gallon tank, and I can put as many plants and decorations in itas possible. We are pretty good at keeping fish. I breed snails and have even gotten to the point where I am breeding for color in mystery snails (albino, red, and black). My brother used to raise Gar, African Clown Knife, Red-Tailed Cats,and things like that but now raises different types of Puffers, Lion Fish, Clown Fish, and other salt-water fish. I breed Triops (which is SUPER easy). And I have my Beta who is around 5 years old; so, fish around here are pretty much spoiled too as if they were apart of the family. Then there is the Dragon Goby we have who is a weird little guy and our star gazer and lion goldfish.

So, back to the big question! I have a 5 gallon aqurium with a very good bubbler and filter. The temp of the water is usually around 65*F-72*F (I believe that they should recieve nightcycles where the lights are off and the temp drops down a little). Most of the time, my room is around 70*F with the night being 65*F. I can put as many or as less plants/decorations as my heart (or the fishy’s) hearts desire. I would like more than 2 fish in the tank- but I just want something that looks nice.

I cant find a good place to put my triops?

Either it will get kocked down by my 3 cats or vibrations on that surface will move eggs to SIDE.
Eggs ARE NOT aloud to be sticking to sides
what should i do

How do you make ‘miniature fossils’ from plaster??

My child (7yrs) has this ‘triops’ (tadpole shrimp) kit, they get up to 2 inches long. When they die my child wants to try and make ‘miniature fossils’ out of their dead bodies. I know it sounds gross! She’s really into science and likes to combine it with ‘art’. We have NO idea where to even start.. Any suggestions? (Personally i thousght we could just feed them to the cats, my daughter doesn’t think that’s a good idea)
