I have a betta in a 2 5 lightly planted tank with a ghost and amano shrimp. Strictly speaking ghost cherry and crystal red shrimp will do perfectly well in a 5 gallon tank by themselves. If you have a planted tank then it will provide them hiding places and they make survive in your betta fish tank.

I have a heavily planted 5 5 gallon tank i m steadily adding more plants to it s entirely uninhabited aside from one snail. The heater is 75w and the temperature is at 80f. My betta doesn t really mind the ghost shrimp but since my amano is a little small it nipped at the shrimp once.

Ghost shrimp only grow up to 1 1 5 inches and they live for about 1 year. Like i said the ph is swaying about at the moment. I m planning on getting a female betta fish once the ph in the tank is stable and the nitrite is 0.

The ammonia has already made its way down to 0 and the nitrate is at 10. I m aware the betta would probably eat a few but would that be alright. If you only want 10 shrimp and a betta then a 5 gallon tank is a great choice.

As previously mentioned while cherry shrimp and bettas can live on their own in 5 gallon tanks. If it s not recommended that s perfectly alright. However when you re putting them together you should use a 10 gallon tank.
