| CeltGirl Enthusiast Posts: 170 Votes: 0 Registered: 08-May-2004 | My biggest ghost shrimp is about 2 inches long. So long as your tanks are covered, I wouldn't worry about them escaping. I keep mine with my dwarf puffer, so they get chased a lot (and eaten if he catches them) but I haven't had one get out of the tank yet. |

| colisa lalia Enthusiast Posts: 238 Kudos: 153 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Mar-2002 | I have had ghost shrimp in and overa peroid of time as they molted they were eaten by the bettas, because they are so soft after they molt they are no more than tasty treats. |
