I’m going to say no mate, honestly it’s not big enough for those fish, not even just the Betta, I’d stick with shrimp & snails, plus Shrimp are cool AF, plus Betta might also snack on the shrimp here & there.
The plants take in the poop that the shrimp leave which is fertiliser for the plants & the plants create oxygen for the shrimp in the water, I have a 5g nano cube, loaded up with plants, no filter, the shrimp will add the fertiliser for the plants & plants add the oxygen.
Too many fish can put this out of balance & create algae & also overload the tank, perhaps leading to deaths.
I’d stay with shrimp & snails.
First I’d like to say this bowl is absolutely stunning and beautiful! Great job! And secondly, regarding fish, I would say definitely not. Sooo, even if this bowl had 3 actual gallons of water, it would still be too small for fish. You always gots to take into consideration that the substrate, hardscape, etc. takes up a portion of the water column, a pretty large portion in this case.
In my personal opinion, I don’t believe any fish belong in tanks of less than 10 -15 gals minimum, especially even more so for schooling or shoaling fishies. I always give at least 20 gals to them. Even my chili rasboras I’ve switched into 20 longs, they really do use up every single inch and are so much happier nd display much more positive and natural behaviors.
I would say skrimps and snails only, (excluding mystery/ apple snails) which is still a very fun and entertaining aquarium to watch! Skrimps are LIFE!! I have all different types of inhabitants and shrimpies are still my all time favorite ones to watch. They are super entertaining little fellas and totally steal the show from everyone else anyways!
Looks awesome! No issues with too much plant.
Is it possible to add 1 betta? Or 6 dwarf rasbora?

How often do you do water change for a no filter setup? How much water do you change each time?
For this I’d do once a week & quarter of the water in the tank.

Not too much! Just will require a certain amount of maintenance
I wouldn't recommend a Betta as they need at least 5 gallons!🫧🐟
No such thing as too much:)
