What the title says. So i picked up 5 ‘ghost’ shrimp’ of which i think 3 are actually ghost shrimp or low grade orange neos, the other two seem to be actual whisker shrimp, long arms and all. I got them with the sole purpose of heping with cleanup in my 10g. The last pic is one of the orange-ish shrimp.
He doesnt seem to have any strong feelings towards them. He chased one around for a bit then realized his reflection was right next to him.
He eats usually 2x /day, maybe around 3-6 pellets each time and gets fasted once a week on a different day. He eata betta pro pellets and bug bites, alternating. I have just started him on frozen blood worms and brine shrimp (which he is not really a fan of)
Hes an alien hybrid, and pretty young if id have to guess by his size. Hes healthy and active, interacts with me and his environment and gets flared twice a week for a minute to keep up his enrichment.
Will whisker shrimp bother him? Or will he bethe bigger threat to them if he chooses? I dont mind if the other three are neos, but they would be staying with him.

Don’t put them with whiskers shrimp. I’ve seen bettas terrorized by those monsters.
Whiskers shrimp will actively snap at the fins and rip them up. They are nasty things.
I’d stick with Amano shrimp if you want them, they are usually big enough bettas don’t bother them.
