What kind of fish or crustaceans can live with betta fish?

I just got the 2nd beta fish of my life. It’s cute and a bright yellow (unusual, huh?). anyways, i want to spruce up my fish tank by adding some other fish to it. What kinds of fish are compatible with Betta’s?
Also let me know about shrimp, crabs, or plants
Just so you know, the tank can only hold one gallon, but I plan on moving up the scale soon.

How often do male betta fish make bubbles at the top of their tank?

I am going to breed betta fish. My male betta fish has already started making a bubble nest. I want to breed my fish in a couple of months. During those months I will have to clean my males fish tank. So that means that his bubble nest will be gone. Will my male betta fish remake his bubble nest?? And how often do they make bubble nests in their life??
