OK, one more option... I had a 1gal vase to fill, I was just going to leave it empty or just do a plant and a couple shrimp, but then I got to thinking about african dwarf frogs... I've wanted one for a while, hubby said not with his betta, my betta is evil, and the other bettas we have are in temp. setups, so I got one and put him in the vase on my nightstand, works out great, I'm planning on putting in some eco complete and a plant or two later, but for now it's just him, a silk plant, and some of the stupid flat glass marbles. (and some live brine which are just about gone now, he's a happy froggie! 
)

African Dwarfs stay small. I thought they needed a min of 5 gals though?
Is the 1 gal tank a vase? or is it tank shaped? Could you put a small filter on it? How much surface are do you have?
I would put a betta in there with some black sand and at least a java fern, even i can't kill that stuff so you should be fine with it.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think it's cruel to put some shrimp or a ADF or something in a 1gal. My ADF breathes from the surface, so no worries about oxygenating the water, although I still may give him a filter or pump of some sort, he has PLENTY of room to swim, he seems to be happy, I see no reason it would be considered cruel, maybe if you put a school of tetras in a 1gal, that would be cruel.
