I have a male Betta in a two-gallon (US) tank with a heater and filter. I've heard/read that ghost shrimp will live fine with a betta. Is my tank roomy enough for the both of them? Has anyone had any problems with the two being together? Thanks!
I dont believe bettas take interest in inverts tho it would be nice to upgrade your betta to at least a 5 gallon tank. That would be great for the both species.

It really depends on the personality of your betta. Some will tolerate tank mates and some will eat 'em. LOL. It'll be an experiment. Providing cover for the shrimp is an excellent idea. Let us know how it goes.
So far, so good. I've had the shrimp in the tank for about half an hour. My betta has flared his gills at it a few times, but seems to have no desire to make it a meal! Hopefully they can continue to co-habitate peacefully!
