my beautiful baby boy betta got two new room mates today. they have only been together for about an hour. there are a pair of ghost shrimp.
he is chasing them around, and on occasion i see them gaging up on my fish. i have an emergency tank set up in case. but i know they need to settle but i am worried about my rash choice.
what point should i give up and remove the shrimp?

he is a male betta by the way.
he keeps looking at me like "mommy why did you put them in here?
 
2 weeks ago i bought 20 feeder/ghost shrimp for my oscar, i tried a few in my betta tank, they lasted for a a week but TAJ decided he was hungry and killed and ate them :blink: they were quite small at only 2cm's so thats probably the reason why he ate them, because yesterday i bought 3 amano shrimp for the betta tank they are over an inch and quite bulky and he doesnt even look at them :lol: So i'd suggest putting lquite big shrimp in with him then maybe he won't consider them food.

they were trying to eat each other. i took the shrimp back and bought a new orniment for his tank to make it up to him
