Neons can be nippy towards long finned fish. If you really want to keep something with the betta, endlers are ok. Other options include microrasboras which are very peaceful and not likely to nip or bother the betta.

okay thanks

Have to say having seen them in the flesh I want some Endlers myself. So yes get them! And Shrimp won't affect your bioload so you can get as many as you like.

 

[Fishy friend2]

okay so i guess maybe a couple more shrimp and i know a fish place that sells endler fry for 19 cents so i wont be spending alot of money wen i buy the fish

 

[Jinty McGinty]

Sounds good! What about your Betta?

 

[Fishy friend2]

[Fishy friend2]

[Jinty McGinty]

Bear in mind buying endler fry means you can't guarantee the sex and they will breed if you have a mixture. Depending on the type of endler, not all of them are able to eat their own fry (they are very small fish) and it won't be great for your betta to be eating them all, so you'll have to remove some. Some will inevitably survive and you may end up with more than you want. Also the females are quite drab.

You might be better off just buying 5 or 6 males.

Also, watch the betta with the shrimp. Depends how big they are really. My betta pecks at adult cherry shrimp but they can evade him, but he will happily persue and munch smaller ones. Then again he may ignore them. Can't always predict these things.
