if you're talking about the safety of a male betta (the kind with long, flowing fins) with other fish in your tank...
male bettas WILL attack most fish of similar size and appearance. But ive seen bettas go after fancy goldfish the size of tennis balls.
also, be warned that a male betta is an easy target of fin nippers. the worst fin nippers are generally schooling fish like tetras and especially tiger barbs. ive also had bad expieriences with danios. when a bettas tail is bitten, his delicate fins can be ruined by painful fin rot. And he may fight back, especially if the nipper is smaller than him.
female bettas are usually fine in a community tank. but, to be on the safe side, i would keep a male betta in a separate tank, maybe five gallons. you can really show them off that way.
but in case you're curious, no, bettas don't really have natural enemies in the wild, just male-to-male fights.
What else can I help you with?
Can female bettas share a tank with albino frogs?
It depends on what species the frogs are. African dwarf frogs (which remain very small) are ideal tankmates for female bettas provided the tank is filtered and large enough for all the occupants. African clawed frogs are fine while young, but grow quite large and will eat the female bettas when fully grown; when grown they also need a much larger tank than the average betta sorority.
Bala sharks and angelfish as tankmates?
yes

Bettas and goldfish?
Male bettas should be kept alone. Female bettas can sometimes be kept with other fish, but in a large community tank. Bettas need their space!
Why do boy bettas hate other boy bettas?

Do bettas kill guppys?

Why do male bettas try to fight their reflection?
They see them the same as other male bettas,as competition,they cannot tell the diffrence between their reflections and other bettas.
