Answers:
dats one sik high tek 1 gallon
all is good in your specs and you have done a good job
the shrimp will be ok only 2 or 3 ghosties
but no oto because they require an 10 gallon or they will die
you can try it but in a month it will be dead.
good luck
In all honesty even a one gallon tank is too little for a betta. Yes they do live in small puddles in rice paddies that dry up in the wild, but take into consideration that this is Temporary. At best try to give him 3 or 5 gallon tank. If you really do care for your fish's health. Plus with plants already in the tank you really have less than a gallon. Your betta is only surviving not necessarily happy. Your specs are good except get a bigger tank. Don't add any more fish to your 1 gallon.
Good luck.
How are you managing to cram all of this into a one gallon?! That's my question. By the time you put all of this stuff in that tiny tank, it seems it's not going to leave much room for the fish and shrimp. They're just going to have to sit there and not move. It's a great bunch of extras that you're putting into things and is very nice, but if you really like spoiling your betta, I would suggest buying him a larger tank. 2.5 to 5 gallons would be lovely.
By the time you add all the gravel,deco,plants,heater,filt... etc Thats not going to be a 1 gal in volume fish tank, Try maybe 1/2 gal of water? If you love your fish so much then as suggested get a bigger tank, 2.5 gallons. And i dont suggest adding the oto cat as it could introduce a disease and kill off your fish you have now. And more to the point that the tank is allready overstalked.
