Crystal Red Shrimp With Other Fish

what are the chances that a fish like a betta would actually eat a CRS.
I bought 4 and can only locate 2.

1 of my amano shrimp jumped out and decided to go for a stroll. he did not make it back in time.

depends on the temperament of the betta, mine was VERY aggressive but handled 4 cherry shrimp ok with no casualitys

do they burrow into the substrate. I noticed that they like to find the holes under the rocks and what not and hide under there.

They don't burrow but they will hide.

test your water cos shrimps only usually escape when there has been a spike of some sort in the water chemistry - nitrite or ammonia

good luck with the shrimpies

Like the truckasauras123 has said it depends of the Betta. When I had him my Betta killed the cherry shrimp I tried to keep with him, i never tried keeping him with CRS but they are the same size so would be just as risky.
