How Would You Introduce Shrimp?

[MewMew42]

Ive always wanted shrimp =]

so hopefully i might be getting some red cherries, but im worried about them being attacked by my bettas!

how would you go about introducing them? would i put them in a trap first and she if they react to them well?

just put them all in the tank, lights off, then leave it a few hours, and you will see if they are dead...

Ok well, some bettas will leave shrimp alone, some will not!

Just float the bag, with no lights, then release them. Shrimp are quite fast anyway, so will hopefully get away fast enough. Any shrimplets though will defos become a snack. Aggression to start with is common, so just keep a close eye on them
