I've been doing my research looking into tank mates for my male crowntail betta, and the internet keeps giving me the same few options so maybe a few of you guys have some good experience and successes you'd like to give me insight on.
He's in a 10 gal tank, filtered, heated, air stone, uv lights, working on planting.
I plan to get a snail or 2, any experience with how much they will destroy plants even if feed veggies?
I also want a bamboo shrimp because they're so fun to watch, and conditions seem similar to betta requirements.
Other than that I have no real ideas, I read bettas like to be king of the tank and don't like company, so if that's the case I won't get him any swimmers and I'll stick with bottom feeders. I'm unfamiliar with many bottom feeders so that's why I'm asking for help, I'll have to learn types that are compatible out there and their care because it seems like I'll have a lot new to learn.
Also my betta likes to hang out near the bottom sometimes would this cause problems with bottom feeders or would he notice he's not alone and spend less time there. I plan to get a cave and a floating log before introducing anyone as well.
