Molly, Platy, Guppy...
Sounds like you love live-bearers ! They breed like crazy as long as you have a male and a female, and then they will inbreed!
You would have a tank full of them no matter how big the tank is...if you don't have something else to eat the fry lol.

It is not wonderful to see betta fighting each other lol. It is a popular game in Thailand, but many others call it animal cruelty. If you want to keep betta, do not keep more than 1 in a single tank. It is also the best do not keep them with any other fish at all except the bottom feeders such as corydoras catfish.
As much as betta are territorial and aggressive, they are still too small to be a match for bigger fish.
