Yes, any fish smaller than it. Do not put it in a tank with tropical or Saltwater Fish because its not certain if it will attack, or even kill itself. Every betta fish is different, so I wouldn't take the chance. If you mix it with another male fish, they will attack each other to death. If you mix it with a female fish, they will mate.
