Depends what you mean by cleaner fish. I consider a bristlenose or rubbernose pleco a cleaner fish. They keep my tank completely free of algae.

Perhaps you should limit the amount of pellets you are feeding the betta. Healthy betta are aggressive eaters, drop one at a time in there and count. If you overfeed, scale back with the next feeding.
Bettas are also prone to constipation, getting scavenger is not a justification for overfeeding (they have their own feeding requirements as well).
also as per your other thread:
5G with a Betta, I believe you are fully stocked. Any more additions and the water quality will suffer and be stressing to your fish. There is a difference between surviving and thriving, Ottos do better in 10+ gallons and dwarfs will contribute too much load to the tank.
Use your best judgement and care for your new Betta, 5G is a wonderful platform to see it thrive.

Fish don't have the emotions to feel lonely. If you want more fish, get a bigger tank.
