Just get some tetras or other community fish.

Don't the tetras kill each other?

No, Betas kill each other. Tetras are cheap and plentiful, buy maybe 4-6 neon tetras and there should be constant motion in the tank. They may need a heater depending on your temps.
My advise, having worked at an aquarium store in college, don’t let your child administer the food and don’t overload the tank with fish. Fish do well on minimal food, maybe every other or third day and only what they eat before it sinks to the bottom. Excess food just dirties the tank and makes things worse. I used to feed my fresh tanks twice per week and saltwater once per week. |

You definitely shouldn't add anything to that 5 gallon!

Amazing how winning a couple of gold fish cost you money - would have been easier/cheaper just to go buy them.
All kinds of ways you can go with fish... Get some crawfish Get some brine shrimp Two of my faves - Tiger Barbs - they will be moving and are very hardy... or Bala Sharks - they just look cool Put up some pic there OP K |

While I agree that Bala sharks look cool. A five gallon is way too small. Couple Corydora catfish and fancy guppies or swordtails or mollies. Hard to beat the hardiness of a male betta |

I’d stick with different types of gold fish. They are easy to keep... just a little dirty. Water quality and temps and filter quality don’t matter as much. There is also a bunch of different cool kinds and colors

Considering Bala Sharks can get a foot long, I think a 5 gallon tank is a wee bit small. You’d need at least a 210 & even that wouldn’t be fair.
