For a 5-gallon (about 19 liters) tank, you could comfortably keep a small group of Clown Killifish. Considering the space needed for swimming and the territorial nature of fish, a group of 3 to 4 Clown Killifish would be appropriate for a tank of this size. This allows enough room for each fish to establish its territory and for you to create a well-structured environment with plants and hiding spaces, mimicking their natural habitat.
