I tried moving some red cherry shrimp into a 5G with a beta, and he picked them off in short order. Waiting for plants to establish and provide more cover before I try that again.
If you want to get shrimp I think you should try it out first with ghost shrimp because those are cheap and if the betta doesn't like it idk you wouldn't have spent a lot of money on the fancy ones
