My 2Nd Tank

[Rickzayne]

Well I have a 2nd tank it's about 16l

Wanting to do a fishless cycle this time...

I'm thinking 1 betta and a few shrimp... Or the shrimp over kill as it is quite small....??

Since bettas are so variable in their outlook on life, you might get away with it, you might not.

My current betta thought that the cherry shrimp were mobile food, so I swapped them into my bigger tank, and moved the amano shrimp into the 34l. The betta recognises that these are not edible. I get the feeling he is quite a feisty kinda guy, whereas his predecessor was as docile as anything, and would probably have left the cherries alone.

Probably worth a try with a cherry or two, which could be rescued if you see a problem.

Shrimp add very little to the bio-load so you can add them. Whether or not your betta eats them or not is a different matter. Mines doesn't touch the cherry shrimp.
