It's possible that you're betta will calm down and become more familiar with these strange fish in his territory. He's not attacking them; however, it is still stressful for them to be chased around.

Keep an eye on them for signs of stress and for the betta getting used to them. If he persists, or they show signs of stress, e.g. stop eating, strange behavior, etc, I'd remove them.
