No bettas are fish not mammals. Bettas have a labyrinth organ which enables them to breathe air when there is not enough oxygen in the water to sustain them. Here are some things that separate bettas from mammals

Hair. Bettas have no hair or fur

Scales. Bettas have scales, mammals do not

Ability to breathe through gills. Mammals do not have gills, bettas do

Egg laying. Bettas lay eggs, mammals give birth to babies without shells that are able to breathe by themselves
