No. Bettas are true Freshwater Fish and do not require salt. Tonic salt for fish is usually sold as a substitute for keeping a healthy water chemistry and will ultimately harm the fish in the long term.

Is there any negative effects placing gold fish with tropical fish?

Most fish get along well. However, do NOT mix betta fish with other fish. Not even another betta. You have to have a permit to have to betta fish in the same tank with eachother. Betta fish are only mixed to mate. Bettas are not born in the egg. They come out as a very small fish. After the betta babies have come out, all of the fish are seperated. Even the parents, if the betta babies are left in the tank with the others the betta parents are very likely to eat the others.

Aquarium conditioning salt at a level of about 0.20% is safe for your betta, so you can immediately put your fish back in the tank. If you think you may have put too much salt in, use a salinity test to check your tank and make adjustments if necessary before putting your betta back in.
