Bettas And Shrimp

[BlackSwords11]

Can you keep ghost shrimp with male bettas? I have a ten gallon divided and its too small to keep cories. Will the shrimp be good or could they get eatin. If yes, how many? (no experience with shrimp.)

The betta is a blue moon tail. (very active)

First, what is a blue moon tail? Do you mean a Half Moon tail maybe?

As far as the shrimp go 1 or 2 would work for a 5 gallon section, but make sure that there are plenty of places for them to hide. Even then though I won't guarantee they'll make it. It really depends on how passive or aggressive your bettas are.

I have tried ghost shrimp with several of my bettas and it never worked out the bettas always killed them.
