I am assuming you would like to know which fish that feeds on the bottom to add to your aquarium with a betta? There are several possibilities, most will depend on the size of your fish tank. You could get a small school of Corydoras which are bottom feeders and are best kept in schools of 5+. A CLOWN PLECO (PANAQOLUS MACCUS) is another good choice, however it will grow to about 4 inches in size, so you may need to have a larger tank eventually. Clown plecos are armoured fish and so the betta cannot really hurt them. Loaches are another choice, but only if you have a larger aquarium as they will grow quite big.
