i would recommend fish that look different from your male betta. male bettas fight other male bettas, and if aggravated they will try to tear apart most fish with flowing fins. they dont even seem to care about size. i recommend catfish and mollies. stay away from fin nippers. and any fish with long fins, even long tailed guppies. you could keep your betta with angelfish too, but angelfish need a really big tank, like 30-40 gallons (for one or two angels).

Ghost shrimp,Cherry shrimp,Gold Mystery Snail,and Mollys are best.But a Betta fish can be with ANY fish,as long as the Betta fish is the LAST fish in the tank!take him out and try again the next day if he is acting aggressive.

Bettas (Siamese fighting fish) actually do need a heater unless they are in a location that allows the water temperature to reach 78F to 80F and remain at that temperature.

If that temperature is consistent, then you could consider some tetras, ghost shrimp, or even some rasboras provided you have enough space.

If you have a medium sized bowl and have a Siamese fighting fish in it is it okay to keep another fish in it or would it be too full?

There are not many fish that can be kept with Siamese fighting fish. They are able to survive in small bowls because they have a breathing organ (a labyrinth) that allows them to breathe some atmospheric air. While they will get on with most catfish, livebearers and other small fish, these other fish will not be happy in a bowl. If you add a filter, you could keep some pygmy corydoras, otocinclus catfish, ember tetras or white cloud mountain minnows. Each of these are schooling species, buy at least 3 and be aware you will now have a lot more water changes to do.

Can you put 2 male bettas in a 111234 gallon tank?

If two male Betta (Siamese fighting fish) meet, no matter the volume of the tank, they will fight. Some breeders will put opaque sheet partitions in the tank to keep the male fish out of sight from each other. Females will happily keep together in the same tank.
