i have had ottos with a betta with no probs. they should be keeped in groups tho, 4 to 6 min

id be more concerned about the betta with the shrimp as ottos are veggies!
 
Wow... Thanks lol that was fast... So could i have snails? Or will they invade my tank lol...? Ive always loved snails but never owned em lol illl do some more reserch before i buy em

that depends what sort of snails you want! some are concidered pests some are not! do you want a couple of bigger snails or lots of small ones?
 
For the record, I also keep a Betta with Oto's :good:

I keep a betta with 3 corys in a 7 1/2 gallon planted tank with no problems. I am plannig to add 5 otts. I am not a fan of snails but that is just personal preference. Even if u have a over aggressive betta you wont have issues, bettas are slow swimmers whereas ottos are very fast when they need to be, have you ever tried to catch one haha.

I have! There were plenty of swear words that day! :X
 
As for snail suggestions in with my bettas I have....

a nerite snail (won't reproduce unless their is brackish water).

Apple snails (lay eggs above the surface so you could remove them)

I also have sulawesi snails (these will reproduce but fairly slowly :)).
 
I got plenty of snails - little ones that come in on the plants
then breed like mad ....
so many in fact that I bought 10 Asassin Snails to sort them out.
Now I've got 10 Asassin snails and still loads of little ones .... :lol:
 
So i want to get 3-4 mysterysnails will they be ok with my betta? Is that the right number??
