I think neons seem to do REALLY good with betta. All the neons I had were quite and docile, only wanted to be crazy with their own kind. They also arent too crazy of eaters, there mouthes are just so small! So when you feed them, feed you betta off to the side so he can eat casually and not fight like the rest.

I would suggest 4-6 neons
2-3 small cories (pandas or spotted)
Mystery Snail (for upkeep and the shear awesomeness of the snail...hehehe)

Sometimes betta will nip at the tenticle thingies of a mystery snail but usually they get bored and leave it alone. Hahaha, I love those snails, thats maybe just my opinion, but they are AWESOME to look at and really really good at keeping up tank maintainence. Ha. Good luck!
