Sure. I have kept Betta splendens with lots of fish from little rasboras to the much larger Rainbow cichlids.
What has this got to do with common livebearers? Betta splendens are bubble nest builders, a subset of the egg layers in my mind. I once bred them but got tired of losing so many as they matured enough that each male needed their own container.

u can put them with neons,mollys,rams,guppys,red tail sharks etc... ?

I don't put anything with redtail sharks. They are too rough for the fish in my tanks. I keep peaceful fish and the bettas seem to fit in well with them. I also don't keep tiger barbs, oscars, red devils or anything else that lives by eating smaller and slower fish.

my red tail shark dont bother with my other fish so the female fighters will be alright with neons,guppys,mollys,rams,swordtails,shrimp ?

The young fish that you see in a fish shop are not the size that you can expect in your tank. As a Betta splendens grows mature, the body size gets about the same as a mature platy. Actually, it is rare to see any mature fish in a pet shop and when you do they are selling for very high prices because they look so much better than the juveniles you will often see there instead. Where I live a tiger barb in a pet shop is a cute little fish about an inch long and a half inch tall. That is only about half the size of a mature barb that goes a full 2 inches long and at least an inch tall. Oscars are only 1 1/2 to 2 inches at the pet shop which means they are likely less than 6 months old. At maturity they are near a foot long and even a 1 to 2 year old will go over 8 inches long.

Male bettas are 50/50...my mum tried to put a platy with hers and it killed it in about 30 seconds.

My female is with 3 rasboras and the only time there is any problem is when I feed them. She takes all the food and the rasboras have to dart up quickly to get anything to eat. The rest of the time, she ignores them. The tank is 10-gallons. If I could do over, I would have left her by herself. I think the schooling of the rasboras stresses her out
