If you get the bigger shrimps like yamato ...then I think should be ok...but I still prefer not to keep shrimp with fish..

Seaview, NA should have.

Dont keep too many shrimps if not betta will get irritated with these little movement and attack it. I kept feeder glass shrimp with my betta for half a year. No prob with co habiting. But other betta will attack and kill them. Shrimp have a tendency to scrape the poo poo and break it into smaller pieces, releasing ammonia ino water. U hv to check for ammonia frequently.

i've tried to add a malayan into my betta tank. it's 6X6X9 inch though. my betta scan scan a bit, and killed the shrimp before i can save it. my betta died the next day too. i suppose it died due to indigestion or something. swelling at the belly area

my take, not advisable
