Assuming your tank is filled to within 1" of the top and that you have sufficient substrata (gravel) at the bottom in which to grow plants, say it's 2" deep, then your tank is missing about 3" of its water holding capacity If your tank is 12" deep you have lost close to one third of its water ie almost 1 gallon. That means your actual quantity of water is just over 2 gallons. The basic rule for fish keeping is 1" of fish needs 1 gallon of water. A Male Betta grows to about 2" in body length. This means that your tank is holding its maximum fish capacity already with 1 male Betta in it. The answer to your question therefore is. You can 'safely' put no more fish into your 3 gallon tank with your Betta.
