I've kept about 10 or so in a 20L...
My Q-tanks are bare bottom with some cheesy castle looking thing and a few fake plants just floating... nothing pretty, just makes them feel a little better

Would 5-6 female bettas, 4 otos, 1-2 mystery snails, and 1 african dwarf frog be pushing the bioload in a 20g?

I'd drop the ADF personaly, but, it may work for you, your cutting close with that stocking level, but, it sounds doable... is it going to be planted?

So 5-6 females, 4 ottos, 1-2 mystery snails, and no african dwarf frog.  Well its not gonna be heavily planted maybe semi heavily planted. WITH lots of decorations ! |

hmm, well if its going to be live plants, you might be able to fit a few ADFs, but, youd have to watch for the girls nippin at them, Ive had some ADFs in a sorority tank that ended up losing limbs... thats my only concern

Just FYI otos really need a well established tank to do well.

true, they should be your last add in once the tank has been running for probably 4 to 6 monthes, mine got nice and round and was pushing 2 inches befor they passed (I miss my Scoot and Skutter) maybe once the 55gal gets-a going, Ill get some more.
