      You need to have a lot of cover within ur tank, it’ll help bring back their numbers. I had a tank with 100+ red cherry shrimp and I put my betta in there for population control lol. He basically would take out the huge ones that couldn’t hide in time. Or the weak ones. But having lots of plant cover and shrimp also allowed me to keep two males in my tank along w neon tetras. Both males lived for about 4 years until I killed them on accident due to sudden change in temperature in one of my water changes.
      In regards to Mystery Snails, I WOULD STAAAAY AWAY. Those fuckers reproduce so quickly. SO ONLY GET ONE per tank. I would stick with Nerite only snails if you want multiple/need because they only reproduce in brackish water and you don’t have to clean out snails every week.

    I think nerite snails are safer bets than mystery snails. Nerite snails have a lot less vulnerable parts open for attack, so a betta that might strike a few times won’t be able to hurt it. My boy was kinda aggressive towards the snails at first, but he mellowed out once he realized they basically couldn’t perceive him.

    I have a few live plants in the tank, Anubias, Amazon swords, and, some other plant I think I forgot the name but I know it’s fine for the all the fish that I have in the tank (Anubias is attached on a big piece of driftwood in the center of the tank) and considering getting more plants eventually, so there’s a fair amount of spaces to create space if needed already.

    For people with experience in keeping bettas with Chilli rasboras, is it ok to have a female betta with ten Chilli rasboras in a ten gallon tank? (It has Amazon sword Java fern along with the floater plants salvinia, red root floaters, Frogbit, dwarf water lettuce) my main concern isn’t filtration, since I have two sponge filters and the many live plants, but my main concern is if most bettas are ok with Chilli rasboras, even if they have more of an aggressive personality, or should I just keep the Chilli rasboras alone?

      I wouldn’t recommend guppies as they like to stay in the higher parts of the tank, as well do bettas, and bettas are territorial and will attack guppies. Not only this but guppies also tend to be vibrant and look like bettas to other bettas. If you want tankmates for your betta tetras are the best way to go as they stay closer to the bottom of the tank and out of the bettas way and territory.

The rule is for every inch your fish is you need at least one gallon and you also need to remember to factor their future growth into the gallons. In your case you’ll need at least a 15-20 gallon tank. It’s also WAAAAY less maintenance the bigger the tank you go.
