i have been meaning to get some ghost shrimp and was wondering if they wold get along with bettas.

They are supposed to here's a link to a great thread on Betta Compatibility.

Just a warning though....the ghost shrimp I put with mine was a tiny one and its gone now. Pretty sure it was betta food. Next time I'll try a full grown instead.

My female betta destroyed my entire population of cherry shrimp overnight after living with them and ignoring them for weeks.

Yet I've had a male live with cherries and he completely ignored them the whole time.

You can't know until you try it, impossible to say for definite either way. It all depends on the fish.
