Ghost shrimp would be a very pricey betta snack. I would instead opt for this: 1 Betta 2 Ottos 1 ADF That would be slightly overstocked, but nice to look at.

djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	You might be thinking of bamboo shrimp. And ottos are bad choices for a 5 gallon, they're very fragile and a host of other reasons. I would suggest more ADFs, they like company.

Americans are so lucky, you all have great prices on your fish down there! Dont ask me why, many of our fish sold here come from florida as yours probably do too. Probably extra shipping costs raise the prices. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

poisonwaffle Mega Fish Posts: 1397 Kudos: 591 Registered: 11-Feb-2003	I'd go for a betta, 2 ottos, and an ADF...that sounds good I've paid 20 cents to $2.79 each for ghost shrimp here... all depends on the LFS and shipping prices and whatnot...
