That sounds nice. Can you get a betta to leave other fish alone? I've never seen them peacefully coexist with anything.
I had a standard blue beta with angel fish and a pleco for years. However my daughter tried to put a koi beta with her angels and it didn't work. I don't know if I just got lucky with a lazy beta or if the koi variety is more aggressive.
There's a guy I've watched who keeps a beta and shrimp together, but he gives the shrimp lots of hiding places, so that is my aim as well.
I've seen those puffer fish in the same tank as a beta.
