Betta and Cherry shrimp

[bettabrat]

Why not try out some ghost shrimp first? They are not too expensive and personally I had housed some with a beta once and was more conscerned with the shrimp harassing my poor beta. Leave it to me to get the fish who don't fit the typical personality card

I just added some cherry shrimp to my tank with my Betta. I wasn't to worried because he has had no real aggression to the snails I keep in the tank with him. he just floats there and watches them like he cant quite figure out why that rock is moving. he did try and check the shrimp out when I first put them in but they are just move to fast for him to follow. now he just ignores them.
