I have seen guppies and other live-bearers shred bettas- but never
the other way around. In fact, I have sometimes raised bettas and guppies
together to save space without problems. Most tetras and other ordinary
community fish seem to co-exist with bettas just fine. But even then you
sometimes get an odd fish that makes it their avocation to follow the betta
and nip and harrass them endlessly. Nothing to do then but remove one or
the other.
