You should limit yourself to smaller fish(2 inches max) or a betta. Shrimp are also great for that size tank as long as the tank is fully cycled. The amount of fish you can put in depends on the how much filtration you have and how much weekly water changes you want to do. Other factors are if you are going to have a lot of plants or not. A school of small tetras is always nice, plus some shrimp and maybe some dwarf corydoras and you're good to go

Whatever you decide, just make sure you add the right amount of fish for "schooling fish". Most tetra need to be in groups of at least 5 or more. Same goes with corydora. You can add many shrimp, amano, cherry, etc.

i was thinking maybe sum shrimp in there, wha other kinds of fish can i have in there? not planing on having much plants, and am willing to do any number of water changes that are needed.

so say i had like 6 tetras, how many shrimp and corys could i have? or does it depend on my tank dimensions

Look up these fish and see what you think: Green fire/blood fin tetra, glowlight tetra, ember tetra, neon tetra (only if you can find a good breeder), micro rasbora, dwarf corydora, sparkling gourami, otocinclus, 3 lined pencil fish, cherry barb.

These fish are all 2 inches or smaller and are community fish. That being said, some will get along better with each other than others and they may require different temperatures or water parameters so you'll have to do a bit of research to see which fish combinations are best. Tank dimensions can be important. If you have a long tank, it's good for fish that need a lot of swimming space, tall tanks are suitable for fish like angels(as an example). The average tank is fine for all the above mentioned fish. If you had 6 tetras, you could have 10-20 shrimp and 6 cories. With that, you would be more than safe for stocking numbers. Just remember, you can be overstocked and be ok but you need lots of filtration and/or plants and/or weekly water changes of 50%(generally speaking).
