it's not recommended that you have an rtbs with long finned fish.... i can only see disaster from putting an rtbs with a betta....

A definite no-go with a male betta, the betta's fins would be torn apart. On the other hand, you could buy short-finned wild bettas, or even captive born female bettas.

Assuming you mean Microgeophagus ramirezi, then yes, they will be fine with your shark.
