Be careful what people at a store tell you, I was there today asking questions about my betta and I ended up with two conflicting responses. I am planning on putting ghost shrimp with both my halfmoon male and halfmoon female. The more aggressive the betta and the size of the betta will factor in on what happens with the ghost shrimp. The worst that could happen is the betta will eat them but they are very cheap (37 cents at my pet store). Bettas stay more at the top where shrimp are on the bottom. Should not be a problem!
No. The beta will almost either go into a kill it be killed type of scenario. The only time that mixing betas is ok in my experience is a small female with other small fish like it. Other than that, bad idea.
i am the asker i mite but i boubt it going to upgrad so plz tell me qiuck any questions appresiated
Yes but watch closely now... those fins are valuable for the betta.
The Betta will eventually eat them, however, until they are eaten they will help scavenge the tank for uneaten food and therefore help maintain the tank.

What can live with a betta?
A lot of people believe bettas are aggressive to everything they see. That is not true at all. Male betta's can live with any fish that does not bear a strong resemblance to it(like guppies for example) Female bettas can live with anything. The only exception to this rule is fish that will eat bettas like oscars. They also do very well with African dwarf frogs and ghost shrimp. You can add fish or other animals if you have at least a 10 gallon tank with a filter and not just a bowl. This is my 30 gallon tank setup My half-moon betta Flare 4 zebra danios 5 neon tetras 4 cardinal tetras(The cardinals and neons school) 4 ghost shrimp 1 ottocinclus catfish 3 mystery snails The betta is super chill about all the other fish
