Betta and cherry shrimp

[Hubert90]

Hey guys wondering If anyone has any experiences with shrimps (algae and bottom feeder kind) and betta housed together.

I current have a 10 gallon tank with a juvenile half-moon betta! It has a Aquaclear 70 HOB ( managed to
Modify the flow to an acceptable level for
My betta). Would shrimps be compatible with my betta? I'm gonna buy a heater soon! Cheers

He'll most likely eat them, but you could try. You might want to test him with the cheaper ghost shrimp first. My males will all eat shrimp, but I have several females who do not.

I have RCS, AES & Ghosties with my Betta and he doesn't even notice them.
