African dwarf frogs, species tank or with a betta

bettas would be fine with shrimps and cories

If you add anything in with a Betta, introduce that first so your Betta doesn't get territorial. Pygmy Cories may work although they prefer well oxygenated water, whereas the Betta prefers a minimal flow.
If you want something a little different you could get away with a species tank and have two dwarf puffers, providing there are plenty of hiding places and the water is well oxygenated.

I wouldn't put small shrimp with a betta, mine bit the cherry shrimps I added in half! And didn't even bother to eat them.... lol. Apple snails or similar would be nice. A really stunning betta with big finnage and tail would be all you needed really though... especially in a well planeted tank!

Remember, like most blokes, all Betta's have very different attitudes. Mine for instance had been in his tank alone for about 6 months before adding 4 then 4 more Pygmy Cory.....with no problems. 3 months later I added 2 Armano Shrimp and again no problem to date.

After a year they are all alive and well.......yours may be very different. There are rules of thumb about all things fishy but sometimes it can work 'outside the box' you just have to be sensible and observe closely.
