Omg, I have a Betta Fish. I also have snails in it from my science class. Wanna know what happened? The snails were fine... in fact, they had babies... so now, I have 17 snails, and they are small so my fish doesn't mind. So, snails are fine, just get small ones. Platinum, my fish loves them! Its so cute because sometimes he thinks its fun to nudge them with his nose and make them fall off the wall, accidentally of course. I totally recommend it, since they clean the tank as well! Just make sure to take them out before you clean the tank!

I wouldn't keep a beta in a bowl, but yes I suppose. Just make sure the snail doesn't crawl out!

confident, better than a million beta fish in a tank will combat one yet another, despite the fact that there is circumstances of the place ive heard beta fish combating on the beginning up, yet then making a team of command that we could them peacefully co exist. Beta fish will combat something that has fins the dimensions, close to to, or bigger than theirs.

Betas a generally aggressive, but with things less "showy" or brightly colored they tend to be more docile towards. betas alone don't make allot of bio load, but this generally has to do with size, maintenance, and filtration. bad water can cause common beta diseases like fin rot, and the nasty things. snails are a good choice however make sure they can't get out, and also snails can lift 10 times their size! so secure a top if you use one. also make sure you don't get saltwater snails, freshwater will kill them.
good luck!

Yes a snail would be fine; they are good for the water and keep it clean.
Enjoy your pet!

you shouldn't have your betta in a bowl in the first place
they belong into at least a 2.5 gallon tank with filter and heater and a live plant
then you can make additions like snails and shrimps to it
Hope that helps
Good luck

Well, I wouldn't recommend it becuase snails carry a lot of disease that could kill your betta.
