So, I have a 10 gallon tank. Currently houses only 3 female bettas and two mystery snails who I believe to be apple. Has a Tetra Whisper filter designed for 10-15 gallon tanks. The females are quite peaceful, and I quite like rosey red minnows, and I was wondering if that'd be compatible? Here's a pic of the tank currently - I'm going to be changing out all the plastic plants for live ones, and adding more, just so you know.

Do you think I'll have an issue with the temperature? Water conditions? How many should I get? Thanks!

you shouldnt have a problem, i have 3 guppys in with my female bettas and they get along just fine, and one is a lyretail, so it has some nice finnage and the females dont nip him or anything.

5 or 6 should be good?

Female Betta groups are often said to be a lot safer in 6+ numbers, because as they mature the alpha and other high ranking fish will bully the lower ranked ones, a larger group usually means aggression is spread better.
