There are actually a number of ways to make a balloon lift, without helium. Hydrogen is even less dense than helium (but has the disadvantage of also being highly flammable). And since hot air is less dense than cooler air, you can lift a balloon just by heating air. Since hot air is less expensive than either helium or hydrogen, that is a popular technique.

Can you make a balloon fly without hot air or helium?
Yes: Try hydrogen - it worked for the Hindenburg
What is inside the inflated balloon?
Helium goes into a balloon to make it float.
Can you make a balloon that float in air?
Fill a balloon part way with helium, make an animal out of it and have it float.
What gas does make a balloon float?
That would be Helium
Which gas do you put in a balloon to make it float?
Usually helium, the lightest noble gas. You can make a balloon or bag float with hydrogen gas, but it is flammable. Pure nitrogen is only slightly lighter than air, so it would not lift very effectively.

Why would a tissue paper balloon filled with helium go nowhere?
helium molecules are much smaller than the molecules of wood pulp that make up the structure of paper. Thus helium gas will quickly dissipate through the paper itself, and into the environment without producing the necessary "lift".
How does helium make a balloon rise when air doesn'?
Helium is lighter than air. So helium balloon rises in air.

What do you put in a balloon to make it fly?
Helium
Does a latex balloon stick more than a helium balloon?
Latex is the material a balloon can be made of. Helium is a gas that a balloon can be filled with. The question does not make sense. Please restate the question.

Fill a balloon part way with helium, make an animal out of it and have it float.
Used to make a balloon float?
helium gas

Yes.
