Yes, it would be OK without a filter, as long as you do the water changes.

No, definitely no keeping male and female together in a tank. The only time you put them together is for a few hours when they spawn, even then, one may kill the other if they're not "ready." Yes, the guy at the LFS is stoopid.

Good to see you around

i feel a little sad that the male will be on his own...
'tho i know that's his natural state...
any little fish [for company] that could handle no filter...???

My-my it's been a long time. Ive heard that you can sometimes get away with some guppies...I actually had a betta in a community tank a few years back, and he did great. It just kinda depends on the individual betta's temperament..

Good to have you back in the water
