Why not both the otos and pygmy Corys? ...along with the small school of chilli rasboras?
These fish all occupy different areas of the tank as a generality, so they should all work in your 15g.
Otos: hang out on sides and on rocks/wood/plants
Corys: stay on bottom substrate mostly and help keep it clean
Rasboras: swim in the middle water
Betta: hangs out in the middle to top of water

Neon tetras would be nice instead of the rasboras, but are a bit bigger and might have more likelihood to tip you into an overstock situation.

I have a 40g Breeder with a community of 4-5 zebra danios, 7-8 cherry barbs, 5-6 harlequin rasboras, 5-6 otocinclus catfish, 5-6 common corydoras catfish, and a 4" Chinese algae eater that have been doing great with extremely low maintenance for over a year now.

Your tank is smaller, so I would obviously not recommend as much, but your list seems fine to me to try in your 15g:
1x betta
3x otos
4-6x pygmy Corys
4-5x neon tetras or 6-8 chilli rasboras

Ember Tetras are cool too!

I shoulda stole it and ran! "Yeah, sure I'll pay $150 for a small $50 fish. Go ahead and put it in the bag." "Oops, I'm sorry officer. I thought I paid for it."

Did they correct the price?

That Vallisneria looks insane!

It is. It's taken off in the last year. Makes me some good credit at the lfs. I turn it into coral.

I
I'm going to make myself a forest

A wise decision indeed.

No, they just didn't post it. The tank said $180.

I need to figure out where to get the rocks. I have small rocks covered. Need 1 or 2 bigger ones. Also deciding if I want a winding little sand path through the substrate

It's the male Tiger Endler in the second picture. He's got 4 females and 4 cherry shrimp for now. Gonna add more plants and probably a couple more shrimp - either orange or blue probably.

We got river rock at a local rock yard. It was like $5 for a couple hundred pounds that we hand picked.

I was under the impression you were an aquascaper……no?

Nope. I don't do aquascaping, I make walls out of rocks.

Were you hoping for aquascaping tips?

No. I was looking for an aquascaper buddy. But nvm lol.

If you're in the area I'd be happy to grab a bite to eat or something!
