Like the thinking, but maybe we could recommend a different type of snail? I'd hate to have her get one at her LPS and have it turn out to be one that gets to be huge...of course, there are people here who have guaranteed smaller apples. If you cannot get them shipped, though, go with a ramshorn snail instead...I think you can even get those at Wal-Mart IIRC.
Ideas for a betta tank

yeah... there is one type that does get awful huge, but they aren;t too common so don't worry about it too much.
so, you can get, in order of placement into the tank,
1 betta
1 apple snail
2 otos

Otos are really sensitive to water parameters and small tanks are not very stable. I personally wouldn't keep Otos in a 3g tank. I've heard 5g per Oto and thats about right. They are social fish so shouldn't be kept alone, so IMO a 10g would be the minimum for 2-3 otos. You can try it, but I personally would not.

Yeah. on a 7 hex oto's are probably the only thing that would fit the space. Usually you can do small tetras also with bettas (except neons, generally), but with tall 7G, there would spacial issues.
so i just keep the betta and thats it? As cheesy as it sounds i dont want him to get lonely if they even can be lonely i have no idea.
