Hi all - just a quickie!

Can a Betta be kept happily in a 30l tank with cherry shrimp or would the cherries und up being 'picked off'?!

Thanks

Andy
 
There seems to be a bit of debate, partly it's the usual 'depends on the betta', you can maximise success by giving the shrimp lots of plants and places to hide, and possibly establishing a breeding population before adding the betta.
 
Amano shrimp may be a better choice as they a slightly bigger then cherries and IME i have had no trouble with the two, with several different bettas
 
you can only try it, my betta [the most placid one] kept in lunging at teh amano shrimp :\

just giev it a go on a day youll be in so you can watch what happens!
