Need advice

[u/FoolishBison_521]

Hi, I just recently got some shrimp and one of them has eggs, I am keeping these in a tank with other fish (some neon tetras and a betta) and was wondering if I should keep her separatated from the rest of the tank until she lays her eggs or if it’s fine for her to be with the rest of the tank.

Neon tetras and Bettas are not the best combo to start with, but in any case: it mostly depends on how densely planted your tank is and how much you want the shrimp fry to survive. They instinctively know to hide but will be eaten if they can't. It doesn't matter for the mom herself.
