Bettas are part of the "Gourami" family of Anabantids. So yes. Gouramies evolved in very similar conditions in the same kind of areas in tropical Asia.
Sorry, type in: how do betta fish live?
yes betta fish have to live alone or one will kill the other.
No, they can live alone or with other female bettas. They might bite each other but won't kill.
The life cycle of a betta Fish goes like this: *They hatch *They live *They die
Bettas are dumb as rocks. If you put another betta, any other anabantid like a gourami, or any long-finned fish in with a betta, the betta will fight it because he will think it's another betta. If you put a short-finned fish in with your betta, they'll live together peacefully.
yes but do not pick fish that are soooo small like minnows because your betta will EAT HIM UP!
Well, if you love your Betta fish, then it should live by itself. But if you add another Betta to your current Betta fish's tank, then they will start a fight because Betta Fish are Siamese fighting fish and if one Betta is in contact of another Betta, the possible reason would be a fight between them two.
Betta fish live in rice paddies. The misconception that the Betta live in a small amount of water it's whole life has spread wide. A Betta actually only lives in small pools of water during the dry season when it is forced to by receding water levels. Also like many other fish a Betta in captivity would enjoy the protection of almost any aquatic plant.

betta fish like at least a 1 gallon tank (nothing smaller) > They can live in a community tank but with no other bettas.
because beta fish are very aggressive fish and usually attack other fish
Yes they would be fine (if they are plants that are ment to live underwater) for the betta splenden aka Siamese fighter fish (assuming that is the betta you are refering to) as it is a tropical fish
