I'll add a little to the previous posts... I'll also assume you're talking freshwater.
It's all about the quality of the water to the keep it clear and refund your maintenance efforts. Buy a good pH test kit and a "sucker" fish. You know, the ones that cling to the glass with their mouth. They'll keep the walls clean. But if you have natural plants like rodney said that shouldn't be much of an issue. They'll grow as big as their environment allows. If you keep the tank too clean with no mold for him to eat he'll get aggressive when it comes to food cause He'll be starving.
As for the beta fish, I'll assume for the sake of the thread he's a male. They have a tendency to get aggressive with other fish when they're running stag, so to detract his attention, get a female beta. Not 1, but 2 of them. Once again, he'll get aggressive with just 1 female. So to keep him honest you'd be best served to get 2. Your daughter should enjoy picking out two colorful females to keep him company.
Other friendly/social fish that are hardy (aka hard to kill) that you can find at any pet store are black mollies, tetras, neons, guppies, swordtails and gouramis. Strongly encourage you to get your a cory catfish also! They'll keep the bottom clean and reduce time between tank cleanings.

Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!
