Shrimp With a Male Betta?

[ReyesBetta]

I have 2 ghost shrimp in each of my 3.5g kritter keepers with my betta. They eat any uneaten food, its like having a bio-vacuum.

My 8 Gal is filtered and cycled I have just found out from my LFS that the corries I have are pygmies. (grandad had 15 in his big tank 3 were getting picked on.

My Uncle did say if they didnt get on in my tank they could go into his community tank with all his corries.

Might put two more in with him seeing as he seems to be behaving so far (steals their food, but wont eat his own)


Shall I keep them or shall i let him have?

Just put one of my shrimp in with my male betta an he gobbled the little guy up in less than a second. (I'm never trying that one again)

Yep my guy did that too, I said never again too.

Hes good with the pygmy's though.

Their too fast for him , they see him comming and they zoom off
