It's SPRING!!! BUNNIE RABBITS
1 gallon tanks are fine for bettas. As long as you are good with the upkeep....1/3 to 1/2 water changes twice a week. Don't clutter up the tank with alot of knick knacks and toys and they'll be fine. The bettas that I have in the larger tanks aren't any more active, alert or healthy than the bettas I have in the one gallons. Just don't let them sit in dirty water.
Tricksterpup....I don't have filters in the smaller 1 gallon tanks...I just do twice weekly water changes and once a month take downs, where I empty all the water and rinse the gravel out well (using the old water so as not to kill any good bacteria..though you can't really cycle a tank that small)....wiping down the sides of the tanks as well. This keeps things clean and tidy.

Best Invention EVER!
I also have my bettas in on gallon tanks. I have one in a vase that actually hold more than one gallon. in the tanks are just plain old gravel and fake plants, but the one in the vase has a bamboo shoot that goes up from the middle of the vase. He seems happy, healthy, active. Plenty room to swim, still do the water change, but I tell you the bamboo shoot ain't ever looked better. To answer one of the original questions, ghost shrimp will be fine with your betta, I had two in a two gallon tank. The only problem I ever had was when I first put them in the betta nipped at them once or twice, didn't hurt them. I think he was just checking to see if they were food.
