What size is the tank? Your Betta might just be a bit territorial. A smaller tank will mean more traffic through his territory which he might not like.

I've found Harlequin Rasboras and White Cloud Mountain Minnows fantastic tankmates myself. Both are readily available in most fish stores and they are pretty friendly towards other fish. Harlequins are beautiful to watch and look pretty spectacular swimming together in a heavily planted tank. White Clouds might be advertised as Coldwater in the shops but they are native to areas which are sub-tropical and have really gained popularity thanks to Biorbs, particularly as easy fish for a Baby Biorb that won't need a heater. Both are quite hardy as well.
