Hey! Just wanted to show off my betta. 😊 I have another betta, but she is camera shy. 😅

Hey everyone! I am a shrimp fanatic but am limited to only 1 type of shrimp. I currently have blue dream shrimp and I LOVE them! The are currently in a 20 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. Besides that I have 2 wonderful bettas that leave the fast-reproducing shrimp alone. 😃 I am so excited to to browse this forum and become part of the family. 😊 Thank you!

Welcome @Fish Gal to SKFA! Glad to have you here.

I bought what was supposed to be 3 female bettas once (many years ago) but one must have been a male as I ended up with a batch of babies after a few months, a few grew up and I gave away but I wasn't prepared enough to raise the babies properly so most died! I did see one of the betta aggressively chasing the other 2 but it didn't occur to me at the time that the shop had sold me a male that looked like a female, smaller tail/fins etc.. I assume that yours are kept in different tanks? Thats a dramatic colour ccombo so hope you can get a photo to post!

Thank you! He is fin-biting so this is only one of his good pics. 😅 No, I have tried mating bettas before but It hasn't worked out. Luna is a mustard gas, so purple and yellow. 🙂 I will try to get pics of her.

That is a lovely betta and looks very healthy and well looked after. Are you planning to mate the pair you have, and what colour is the female?

Welcome! I also have a male Betta with shrimps, though the shrimps were culls with wild type (brown blotchy) colour so I'm not sure if the betta really notices them much as the tank is densely planted. Betta are always a risk, my first one did eat shrimps (adults included) so the only way of knowing is by trial. Great to hear your betta are friendly with the shrimp, though I suspect they may snatch the odd shrimplet when they are very small.
