I hear that the bettas will eat ghost shrimp but how will the fish react with a small aquarium tank frog or a snail? My betta “Albus” is very tempramental and lives in a one gallon aquarium. I need to know before I test his pride and limits before I end up killing the poor thing. Please help me!!!!!

This is just and edited version of my question, but.. doFish such as bettas (siamese fighting fish). Do they really need high quality foods such as brine shrimp if i want them to breed. I usually feed my betta fish betta fish pellets. If i wanted to breed them, couldnt i just feed them the pellets. (by the way i already know how to breed betta fish, im just asking if it’s ok to feed freshwater fish their flake
and/or pellet food in order for them to spawn and if they will still spawn if i feed them their flake/ pellet foods)

At work I am not allowed to have a fish tank, however they do allow Betta’s in a small bowl (often with the lilly). I’m not a huge fan of Bettas and from what I’ve read it’s really not a good situation. I’m working on convincing them to let me set up a vase-like container without a “filter”. Here’s what I was thinking:
Vase-like thing (hopefully around 2 gallons)
Sand substrate
I don’t know the name of the aquatic plant I’m planning on using but It’s a common one thats tall with tons of little green leafs. Also I’m going to use probably 2 java moss balls (I think thats what they are called). The thought being the plants will oxiginate the air somewhat.
Then I was planning on putting in 2ish bioballs then point a small fan on the top to agitate the surface and hopefully create some biological filtration.
Finally I was hoping this kind of system would support 2 dwarf african frogs and say a ghost shrimp to hopefully keep the tank tidy.
Any suggestions, Will it work?
I know or at least it seems to me yes it’s better than just throwing something in a bowl but is it going to be sufficient for them to live well?
Also, I just realized I forgot, do I need to sneak a heater in there or will they be ok without it?
