    My betta is living a friendly life together with cherry shrimps and galaxy rasboras. He occasionally tries to eat the newly born shrimp babies but they are too quick and he seems to enjoy the hunt. I can’t promise he haven’t eaten a baby occasionally. But I have never seen it and the shrimps are multiplying. (My tank is heavily planted)

    I kept cherry shrimp with a Betta once. Went a year with no problems until I was stuck away from home for 3 days. That was all it took for the Betta to get hungry enough it eat half my shrimp. I had to retank my Betta to save the remainder of my shrimp.

    Pea puffers will leave the adults alone but it'll be an all-you-can-eat buffet as far as shrimplets go, and of course if you have snails in the tank they'll go for those, sometimes right up to ones half their size.

    honestly, only way to have fish and shrimp co-habit is if the shrimp colony is already strong and breeding at a rate the fish can't eat them all. so basically very heavily, dense planted tank for the shrimplets to grow and hide.

    I'm definitely experiencing my shrimp getting out-competed by snails, though. Ever since I got a colony of ramshorns going, I've noticed a huge decline in my shrimp population. Used to have at least 50-100 with babies all over the tank, now I have to search just to find one.

  • @markcummings3146
    @markcummings3146 Год назад

    I was told male Betta's are good due to the size of their mouths, kept mine together for ages until I saw it eat an adult cherry shrimp who was swimming. My betta eventually died and then my tank came to life with shrimp who seemingly were afraid of it and were hiding mostly until that time.

    • @weirdscience6820
      @weirdscience6820 Год назад +1

      Its kinda sad how when talking about providing hiding spots to protect themselves from fish we don't consider the stress on the shrimp. On the other hand I had a colony that used to hide but came out more when I got guppies. Depends on the fish maybe. The other reality is the role of fish in keeping the shrimp population under control while also having access to live food.
