Shrimp help

[BlitzCraze]

Hat kind of shrimp can I safely keep with my betta ?

Maybe red cherry shrimp just NOT ghost because ghost are kinda aggressive

I have never had a problem with ghost shrimp. There are accounts of them eating small fish, but i do not believe it. They wont mess with a beta

Ghost shrimp have a better chance of staying alive with a betta than RCS do. Or you can go with amanos

Agreed. To be safe I would go with ghost shrimp or amanos. neocaridina are on the small side, and more expensive than ghost shrimp should the betta decide to have a snack.

I have no idea where you got that
There is no shrimp under 3 inches adult which is aggressive.........lol

Activeness and aggressiveness are totally diff. things

ghost shrimp are super active

I'd say amanos have the best chance of survival as they get quite large, up to 3" for females... BUT they can't breed in FW.....I'd do RCS if you want, make sure to stuff a few floating plants and at least they will thrive somewhat and at least be producing babies

Probably "aggressive" because they will snatch at fish swimming by. Mine snatch at darn near anything that moves. But I don't think it's so much aggression as scavenging. I think he used a bad choice of words myself.

And the RCS wouldn't last long. Been there, tried it with 10 different bettas, all RCS were considered dinner. The bettas got more seafood than I do.
