male betas fight other fish, period. only the females are safe!
AnswerI find bettas to be a good community fish IF there are no fin-nippers, other longfinned fish, or other anabantids in the aquarium. Bettas will fight with long-finned fish and anabantids of any breed, and fin-nippers will attack the Betta. Also, don't put the Betta in the tank with a fish that can eat it. I had to house a Betta in a tank full of Jack Dempseys. No damage to Betta or Jack Dempseys resulted, and Dempseys are aggressive predators.As to the original question...the only reason I am going to say no is it's a five-gallon aquarium, which is REAL small. Glo-fish are just genetically modified zebra danios, which get along well with bettas.
Answer
Some answers are really misleading. Sure, certain betta can be psycho killers that will kill everything in the same aquarium.
However, when you put a betta and a bunch of Glo-fish in the same tank, the problem will not come from the Betta.
Glo-fish are genetically engineered Zebra Danio. They can be aggressive Fin-nippers ! Betta's long fin will make perfect target!
On the top of that, Zebra Danios are 5x faster than a Betta at top speed. Slow moving Beta will never be able to catch a Zebra Danio.
To decrease Glo-fish aggression, a school of 6 or more is recommended. Even that will not decrease the aggression to 0.
A 5 gallon aquarium is also too small for Zebra Danios. Since they need room to move around a lot at high speed. Small sized aquarium will increase their aggression as well. They are good school fish and add lots of movement to your aquarium. They are nice to have, you just need a big enough aquarium and be careful about them being around other fish with long-fin.

Contrary to common belief, bettas DO NOT live in tiny puddles or footprints. Bettas live in rice patties in the far east.
