Can glass/ghost shrimps live with bettas?

Question

Can glass/ghost shrimps live with bettas?

Answer 1

No! Ghost fish are usually other fishes food and ESPECIALLY bettas. The bettas will eat the ghost fish. They eat ANY type of fish except other bettas.

Answer 2

Good grief.  An inch long shrimp won't be able to do any harm to adult fish.  They are only a threat to fry.  Second, whether or not the Betta puts up with the shrimp will depend on the fish's speficic personality.  I had a Betta that went right after them upon introduction, but after about a day, seemed to entirely forget about the shrimp.  Some will tell you they've had Bettas shred every shrimp they bought.  At 50 cents, I would think it's worth it to give it a shot-- if worse comes to worse, you just paid for fish food.

Answer 3

NO! Ghost shrimp are mainly used as fishfood and small office tanks. I had some with a few guppies at night and the afternoon after they were gone. I would not advise putting them with bettas.

Answer 4

NO!!! 8O Those shrimp will attack and kill your betta! The only fish sutable for those are small fast fish like neon tetra, but even then if they get caught they're fish food!
