Will My Betta Fish Eat My Shrimp

They have the same coloration as bamboo shrimp but max out at like an inch.

Will my betta fish eat my shrimp. That s too many shrimp for a 5g tank. Feeding fish cooked meat is a no go. In it i have a small male delta tail betta and 4 little plant shrimp.

A tiny bit of raw shrimp would be fine as nick said. The proper amount of shrimp that should be kept in anything under than 10g is around 3 5. Yesterday morning when i fed it there was a minor shred in the tail but that s it.

Most of the time they can be found at your local pet store. I recently bought a male betta fish and put him in a 5 gallon filtered heated and cycled aquarium. Can ghost shrimp eat at a fish pre or post death.

Would i recommend it. I feed my bettas frozen plankton basically like little shrimp blood worms insect larva like mosquitoes and fruit flies the occasional spider that finds it s way close to the water s edge and they eat the rams horn snails in the tank. This morning i woke up to find my betta dead.

My betta absolutely loved living with shrimp they re fun to chase and to eat. The bettas favorite thing to do seems to be hunting the shrimp on the bottom and i was wondering if he will actually eat the shrimp. Betta s are known to enjoy eating shrimp as long as they re smaller than the betta but it just really depends on the personality of the betta and the tank size.

Pick a betta that already lives with shrimp. I ve had him for 5 or 6 days. Don t pick a betta that s on his own.
