Your call,

Your fish, your shrimp, but a betta is going to have no problem polishing off an adult neocaridina shrimp

Especially amano shrimp.

You're completely right, I did a TON of research before even asking for shrimp but no amount of research beats experience, it's definitely a gamble putting shrimp with a betta. Fingers crossed he won't eat my crustacean babies ☹. ofc I'm not putting them in now they're much too small, just wishing for the best from now ?

I would not risk animal's life because you want to do an experiment, keeping shrimp with a betta that will kill them off, one by one. I made the same mistake once, the betta killed all of my shrimp one by one.

Especially amano shrimp.

... Amano shrimp are multiple times bigger

Betta will still kill them. Nibble them to death, but definitely won't eat them.

I'll take your guys advice and set up a new tank for my shrimp ?, if I get a 5 gal or bigger do you think I could put in some guppies or endlers? Thanks again

I would only do 5 or 6 male guppies/endless, shrimp should be ok but you don't want them to reproduce as they multiply really quickly.
