Stocking Suggestions for 6gal

I've got a divided 20gal long that has an empty section. My immediate thought was to find a decent quality betta from a reputable source (something like a mustard gas, one I've always wanted but without having to ship in which appears near impossible). I've got a BN pleco in one section, a female DP in another section. As much as I'd love to put another DP in something a little more flashy might be nice too. The pleco sits in one of his caves and the DP will sneekily hang out with my but she's afraid of my partner. It might be nice to have one more visible fish in there.

Yeah I'd say betta to. Or maybe cherry shrimp, although they're small to

Ram cichlid if the section is big enough, great personality and beautiful colours

I've had a breeding pair of rams before, they are beautiful characters! While the area is quite heavily planted I worry that it might not be enough swimming area. My pair was in a 65gal and they made use of the whole tank for sure.

LOL @ Flutter! I think that you may be worse than I am, and that is not easy to do!
Rams in a 65! That is wonderful! I got teased for putting pairs in 33XL or 40-longs many years ago, and I would not consider anything smaller for a pair. If you can set two tanks end-to-end, they are good with fry and make better parents as well. I could watch them for hours.
You have made my day! Thanks!!!
