so, if this question is for real....
okay, LMAO at ghapy...but it's true!
a full grown oscar needs 50 gallons of water. 9 of them would need a 400 gallon tank MINIMUM. An oscar is not full grown until it reaches at least 9 inches. They put an incredible strain on the filter system of the tank, and need a lot of space becuase they are territorial.
Bettas are not killers, they are territorial, and there is a difference. Read a betta book. However, Oscars do not know the difference between feeder fish and other fish...so, if it's smaller, it's food.
Big fish are not mean, they are hungry. Big fish+Big teeth=Little fish +CHOMP!

No the Oscar will eat the betas. Only one male beta per tank they fight. Go do some research on fish.

the only component you are able to put in a a million gallon tank is a snail. bettas desire a minimum of 5 gallons with a clean out and heater. tetras desire a minimum of a 10 gallon tank with a clean out and heater and communities of a minimum of 5-6. the smallest cat fish you may get is a cory cat and that they want communities of 5-6 and desire a minimum of a 10 gallon tank, 20 gallon must be optimal perfect, filtered and heated. Undergravel filters are no longer the main perfect indoors the international the two, i ought to bypass with a carry on returned or canister clean out. The container lies by using certainty they want you to purchase it and in the event that they checklist a good form of fish that would bypass in it then it ought to have a much better helpful hazard of advertising.

Are you NUTS? Oscars ALONE need like 100 gallon tanks EACH!!! You are seriously nuts. PLEASE find a suitable home for those fish before you kill them!
Second, bettas MUST live in separate tanks or they will KILL each other! They aren't called Siamese fighting fish for nothing!
And third, DEFINITELY don't keep a bettas with an oscar!
PLEASE get help! those poor fish deserve much better.

Sounds great as long as they are in a 600 gallon tank. I don't reccommend bettas as feeders though, they don't have enough nutrition to keep oscars healthy. Would make a good treat though!

Yup, it's good. Put the 9 Oscars in a 400 gallon tank, put each betta in it's own little tank, and you're on your way.

You do not want to mix beta fish with any other fish - they are very agressive and should only have 1 per tank - they will pick on each other and eat other fish's tail so that they can not swim. I had a gold fish and several others in a tank with a beta and the beta ate off the end of my gold fish's tail almost to the point it could not swim - I had to seperate bothe the gold fish and the beta from the big tank

no because if you put betas in a tank together especially if their male they kill each other betas are very Territorial

if they are female betas, and full grown oscars and you have a large tank, then you will probably be okay,,,,,,,,,,, but, notoriously, oscars like to be alone, and so do betas.
i personally, wouldn't chance it.

It really depends on how many gallons you have.
