Default New Member...Need help setting up betta tank

Hi--

I'm a new member and I'm just bought a Marineland Eclipse 6 gallon tank. After much debate I decided on putting a betta in it, but haven't bought one yet. I thought about doing goldfish in a 10 gallon but they seemed to grow too big. I've owned a betta before and kept him in a 1 gallon hexagon, and I loved having him as a pet and I took great care of him, but I hated changing the water so often and felt bad about keeping him in such a small tank. After a few years he passed on. So I've decided to get another betta. I have a few questions about how to keep my betta etc

1) Can I keep any other fish in a 6 gallon with the betta?
2) What kinds of plants could I put in there (preferably real). I have a 2 inch florescent light?
3) Are there any kinds of bottom dwellers, snails, shrimp, etc that I could keep in the tank to help keep it clean without the betta fighting with it?
4) Has anyone use the Marineland Eclipse tanks and know if it's any good?

Please help me...Thanks
