I'd put a small heater in the tank and add a few White Clouds (the gold phase of White Cloud is particularly pretty) Most small community fish do well with bettas....I've kept platys, mollies, guppies, corydoras catfish, and several other sp. with them. I DO NOT recommend chinese algae eaters (the long skinny ones), barbs, or larger tetras as they can be fin nibblers. If you prefer to keep it at room temp, go for the White Clouds. They do well at just about any temp. (and they do well with or without a filter)
I'm not fond of Neons because I've found that the crowded conditions they are kept in at most dealers start to breed disease pretty quickly. I'm a big stickler for quarantine tanks when adding new fish, and I know most people aren't, but I would say that if you like neons go for it but quarantine them before you put them in with your betta.
