	ghost shrimp with Betta
T/A Mega Fish Posts: 942 Kudos: 1796 Registered: 20-Feb-2004	This is to anyone who has kept ghost shrimp with a Betta. Did the shrimp live? Or did it become food for the Betta?

I'd say it depends on the personality of the fish. My male is very agressive, so I expect him to kill shrimp while my female is very timid and peaceful and I wouldn't expect her to hurt anything.
