I'm not sure if they can, but i dont know if they can't either.... its a bit tricky... It would be best to leave your Betta alone, but if you desperately want something with your Betta get a few bumblebee gobies or bristlenoses.

Bubble bee gobys are brackish and nippy. BN get to big for a 5 gallon tank. You would be best to keep your betta alone. If you really want something else in there get a frog or shrimp.

Otocinclus also work, you could get a pair of those, but you would have to watch your water quality as the poo a lot. get a good filter to handle the biowaste.

You could also go with snails, or shrimp.

I have heard of success with neons too, but others say they are nippy.

Ghost shrimp can end up being dinner. Gofish likes to experience the thrill of the hunt.
