is there any fresh water tank cleaning shrimp

Think twice before you consider shrimps with bettas.

 

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

why?

 

[Lupin]

why?

Bettas are not exactly compatible with shrimps. When shrimps molt, the bettas attack. This has happened several times especially when a shrimp is an inch or less. Bottomline, bettas are predatory by nature.

Or you could end up with what happened to my betta. The shrimp tore his little tail to shreds then ate him once he died

Shrimp are great at cleaning up messes.

that suck did why did they attack him?

Yeah i'd try ghost shrimp they should do good feed those guppies less.

 

[asianmick]

i will but i fill bad cause i work weird hours and i dont want them to starve

 

[Docsoldlady]

I don't know for sure if they attacked him or not. He started to stress out (after being with them for 3 months) and started to hide a lot and his tail kept looking worse until one day I found him and the shrimp. Not a happy day for me.

You don't want what to starve? The beta or the shrimp? I think my beta when I had one at work went all weekend without food. The shrimp you can feed pcs of algae tablets and that should tide them over. You don't want to over do it fearing it may over pollute the water.

yah i dont want that
