As Kim stated, shrimp need a cycled, filtered tank to thrive and can't survive constant, 100% water changes. I would post questions about shrimp in the invertabrate subforum of the Freshwater fish and Aquariums section of FishForum. People there can tell her exactly what she needs to house and take care of shrimp properly.

i would do what dq says she is smart

I don't think in this instance it's rude. He is just showing enthusiasm for the fact he found them cute.

As for the thing about people being rude to each other. I don't think anyone was trying to be rude to anyone else. I think people just got frustrated because she asked for advice, we gave advice, and she kept ignoring the advice. I think she should definitely save up and buy a really nice tank and then she can have the bettas and other fish or whatever. I wish I could have a larger tank...if only I had more room lol.

I was just saying in general...if you saved your money and got a larger tank you could get shrimp AND/OR fish. Plus, you wouldn't have to do as much work with a larger tank....less work :)

What's the difference between fish and shrimp? They're both aquatic animals and require similar care.

Well, I personally get annoyed when I give advice and the person who asked for it keeps rejecting it. Like if you go to a petstore, the employee gives you bad advice, but refuses to listen to you when you correct them... I see many people posting about it, and this isn't much different.

From what I see, though, everyone is very pleasant and helpful here. I've been to places were people are far more rude...
