First: a "janitor fish" is what Americans call a pleco.
Second: yes, you can keep a Betta (fighting fish) and a pleco (janitor fish) in the same aquarium. Plecos are only aggressive to other plecos, so your pleco won't eat the betta. The two fish live in different parts of the aquarium--plecos at the bottom like most catfishes, bettas at the top because they're airbreathers. A betta has the common sense not to mess with a fish as big as a pleco--and it wouldn't matter anyway because plecos are armored fishes. Plus, bettas love to eat snails so they are a good addition to your tank maintenance team.
Now! This is the problem: Plecostomus catfishes get huge--if your fish isn't a foot long two years after you get it, you're not feeding it enough. (Plecos eat things like zucchini pieces that you weight down so they sink.) It is a fish that needs AT LEAST a 55-gallon tank to live and be happy. If you've got a small tank like a 10 or a 20 gallon (40 or 80 litres) I would get either Ancistrus catfish (like plecos but much smaller), Corydoras catfish or upside-down catfish.
