Male Betta splendens or Siamese Fighting Fish, are intolerant of other male bettas. They are also intolerant of female betta's except when breeding. However, male Betta fish can live peacefully with any fish not large enough to be swallowed. They can be aggressive towards any other fish, but some male bettas are rather placid. It's a matter of finding a male betta that will tolerate all con-specifics.

Female betta fish are tolerant of any other fish, but will sometimes display aggressive behavior.

Bettas are actually tropical fish, not cold-water. O-o Suitable tank mates would be a school of tetras [5-6]*, an African dwarf frog [Not clawed frog, don't get them confused], snails, mountain minnows, and shrimp*. Female bettas are usually just as aggressive as males, but they usually don't have flashy fins for other fish to pick at. Female bettas can live together if they are in a school of 5-6, though.

* Tetras like to nibble on flashy things, so it might be risky to mix them with your betta.

* Shrimp usually get eaten by betta, but with less aggressive ons they should be fine.

For Male bettas, there are no really good tank mates. They must be able to survive in cool water as the betta does. I would suggest an algae eater, an African dwarf frog, or cool water fish. DO NOT PUT GOLDFISH IN WITH BETTAS!!! I had a betta in with goldfish and they killed it.

For Female bettas, they can survive in with a tropical communtiy.

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.
