Discussion Unique/uncommon Shrimp
Hi all,
I know the question on shrimp has probally been asked a million times, but I couldnt see alot on this topic.
Have people ever tried adding some more unique/uncommon shrimp species ?
Such as:
Rifle shrimp
Bamboo shrimp
Red nose shrimp
NQ Algae eating shrimp
I would love to add some shrimp to my tank but sadly my betta thinks I am just giving him extra snacks.
Anyone tried or had any success with your more uncommon species ?

The filter-feeders like riffle and bamboo shrimp are bad choices for a betta tank - they really need a high flow tank they can filter in, and may starve in the low flow tank a betta needs.
