No, I put my plocostomus in with my male Betta fish, even though she was bigger, he killed in an hour.

======================================================

Yes, but keep in mind they have different water requirements.

If a pleco dies when kept with a betta it's more likely to be due to tanks size and water quality issues rather than the betta killing it.

Bettas are top dwelling fish, while plecos are bottom dwellers. Unless in a small container there won't generally be much interaction.

The male will kill the female after he spawns her. If she won't spawn he will still kill her. No male Betta will allow another Betta (male or female) to live in its vicinity. So the answer is NO.
