Default Newbie-How Many Fish?

I would get a real small pleco if you want a cleaner fish and maybe a couple
of Black Skirt Tetras or any tetra just check the maximum size they will get
because a good rule of thumb is 1 gallon of water for each inch of fish I
might also put some freshwater invertebrates instead of the pleco because 1
they look cooler 2 they will clean the tank and 3 there smaller which is
what you want for a small tank

My daughter got a 5 gallon tank kit for the holidays. We have an
African Dwarf Frog and a small tetra in the tank. We'd like to get
another frog and perhaps 1-2 more fish. How many fish can safely live
in a 5 gallon tank? Would a ctfish be a good idea (to help keep the
tank clean)?

Thanks in advance for you help!
