Pigeonduck Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 If it's heavily planted including dense plants like clumps of moss and you start off with decent sized adult shrimp you might be ok. I have a cherry shrimp in 3 different tanks with 3 different bettas and other fish in the larger tanks. The smallest is 20l. Each shrimp colony is thriving. You just have to run the risk that your particular beta might be a greedy pig who eats all shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanR Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Each Betta is different. Mine hunts through my thick java fern, under rocks and wood and under my Christmas moss bridge. I know for sure, mine would eat a cherry shrimp if he could find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
