So im wanting to move my betta from the tank he's currently in to this 10 gallon once I switch everything in it and I was wondering if a 10 gal is big enough for him and a few docile fish+ bottom feeders. Any advice is welcome as well as things to put in the tank for clutter

10 is big enough for your betta 1-2 snails and a few shrimp depending on your bettas temperament
Yes, it will be fine. What bottom feeders are you thinking about?
Why do ppl leave the cardboard on?
Yes. Once established, a small, peaceful species like ember tetras could work. Pygmy corydoras or anchor catfish (Hara jerdoni) work on the bottom.
Yeah 10 gallons is perfect for a betta. Not sure if you can add other fish though. MAYBE pygmy corydoras but you have gravel so that’s a no go.
But you can definitely have shrimp and snails.
A 10 gallon is big enough for a single betta and no other fish. If you want a community tank, get a 20 gallon or larger.
I wouldn’t put any other fish with him but shrimp or snails should be OK
Ten gallons is pretty much optimal for one betta. For more than that, probably not. At most, you could add some invertebrates, mainly snails; shrimp are also an option, but be warned that some bettas will eat them. (I once lost a betta because he chowed down on six cherry shrimp overnight and got severely bloated. Bettas can and will eat themselves to death!)
Anything you get 5 gallons is considered acceptable
Looks great!
10 gallon is great for a betta. The bigger, the better! Makes maintenance easier for you while making your fish more happier
