Thank you, sounds good and yes you should post ? are you on a Betta forum? I am a proshrimp customer, I have had some plants from you. I was hoping to get the striped babaulti rather than green. I do watch him like a hawk, he's really funny. The Cory's continually push him out of their sand area, not in a nasty way but just being determined to get their breakfast ?

Beautiful Betta, I must put a photo of my new one oh the forium! The babualti shrimp may be safer with a betta as they are green so not quite so obvious, though I'm still sure the betta will eat any baby shrimps if he gets the chance? And even if he doesn't eat the shrimps now, he may start later on, so you will need to keep a perminant check on him, and your shrimps. The babaulti will be fine with the red cherry shrimps if that happens as the 2 don't crossbreed! And of course, when you start getting wild type cherry babies (usually clear or brown) you can happily dump them in with the betta, as I did, either as live food, or if the betta doesn't eat them, clean up crew - either way is a win? You may have to wait a while to get the shrimps of coarse with us now on full lockdown again......... but that suits your plan anyway I guess, luckily? Are you a ProShrimp customer? Simon

As Simon said, those parameters are fine for neocaridina. Let us know what the TDS is.

Thank you Simon, it's nice to know someone has successfully kept Betta and shrimp!! And always better late than never in my book ? My boy is a fairly shy one. I'm not sure he's ever had live food, so I think this may be the difference, he happily takes protein treats, loves stealing shrimp pellets off the bottom (in between the Cory's muscling in) and his Betta food - 3 varieties I'm going to wait a few months and check that my tank is completely stable, then get some babaulti. If they are in any way threatened by lūc-tankstalker then I will pop them in with the cherrys. Thank you everyone, I'm sure I will be posting more as the journey develops. ??????????????? Just for you Simon - didn't realise I had a full shot of Lûc... (And everyone else in the forum really I guess!! ? )
