It generally depends on the Bettas personality on what he can be kept with. Anything with long fins like guppies will be a problem. People generally stick to inverts, and Corys for Betta tank mates. Anything colorful will cause conflict generally.

How old is the betta and what are the tank dimensions? It's hard to suggest tankmates without knowing the size, and "massive" means different things to different people

My primary concern with suggesting tankmates is that bettas who are added first to a large tank will tend to decide the entire tank is their territory... Therefore any new additions are seen as intruders and are attacked. Introducing them young helps mitigate this, but as a general rule I usually suggest adding the betta as one of the last members of the tank.

Probably not. Bettas and angels do not generally mix

What about my 2 Bolivian rams ?

May be ok... Rams tend to stay more towards the bottom while betta will tend to lurk at the top, so their territories shouldn't conflict. If the rams start to breed they may take offense to the betta and beat him up pretty bad.

neon, cardinal, or rummynose tetras may work if you want color.

 

[Mattfinn]

An angel with a Betta sounds disastrous. A few tetras in a school large enough not to nip is you best option and inverts or corys

It all depends on your fish my betta won't even flare at other bettas
