breeding in a betta tank?

[Elliriyanna]

I need to start breeding guppies and shrimp as food for my ADF's ... can this be done in a 5 gallon with a Betta?

Or would I be better off buying a large critter keeper and putting a trio of each?

I do not want to overstock my Betta tank

You would be overstocked in anything under 10 gallons (and reall, 10 is too small) to breed in. Guppies generally have 10-30 fry in one drop, 33 (including the adult trio) that's way too many to have in anything under 10 for sure. Even as tiny fry.

would just the shrimp be ok? nothing would stay in for long with feeding being every two days and the betta eating some too
