Gozaru Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I have a fully cycled, heavily planted 10 gallon shrimp tank with a population between 80-100. I was wondering if I added neon tetras before the betta would it be okay? MableBile, JosephKex and Edwardnah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Only if you want to turn it into a fish tank. Most shrimp will be feeders for the betta at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewoeno Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 add either of those fish and say goodbye to your shrimp. not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gozaru Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Are there any other small fish to the tank I could add? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 you could try least killifish, mine didn't bother my shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Chili or exclamation point Rasboras, they will eat baby shrimp but not bother the adults and young. If your tank is heavily planted your shrimp might still breed but will be much more shy and you might not see them much. sewoeno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewoeno Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 basically no fish are safe. if you don't mind them not really reproducing some chili rasboras like ryeguy said or i have some celestial pearl danios that are also tiny and beautiful. but yes they will eat tiny shrimp if they see them.
