.. can I get any other fish as well? Could I get a small otocinclus as a bottom feeder with the betta?? Or can I ONLY have betta on their own?

Female bettas make great community fish, you can add any other peaceful fish to the tank with no worries, including the otocinclus.

Yes, you can keep 4 girl bettas with other fish. I have had 4 girls in my 29 gal tank with live bearers, cories, ottos, etc. They will establish a pecking order usually if tank is smaller, the girls in my 10 gallon did but not in the 29 gallon. As bottom feeders, I would recommend a corydoras catfish species like the panda cories. Get at least 3, they keep the bottom really clean. If you want a glass cleaner, then get a few ottos, I had a cute little trio in my tank and they did fine.

Female bettas are fine with most fish and even each other. A bottom feeder will do great.

I've kept a group of female Bettas together with an Oto. They seem to ignore each other - probably because the Oto is very busy cleaning the tank!

You could get an ototcinclus for a bottom feeder though they are algae eaters. I wold prefer you get a school of bronze corydoras. They could be housed with bettas,

Yes female Betta's will do well with any peaceful fish. At first they will seem like they are picking at one another, this is totally normal. They have to establish a pecking order.

Otocinclus and bettas should be fine together. Make sure the Otocinclus have enough algae or give them some algae pellets so they don't starve.

female betta? well they're okay with other fish.
even males are usually peaceful towards other species but not to other males.
otocinclus are fine, corys also works best as bottom feeder...
good luck

female bettas can do well in a community tank,,, however,,, they ARE territorial fish so you would need at the least, a 20 gallon tank to support the 4 bettas and perhaps even larger if you want more fish other than bottom feeders..

You could definitely put an Oto with a Betta.
