I moved Tina from the big community tank downstairs up to her very own 10 gallon tank. She was being harassed by the big male pearl gourami. So far, she's been exploring her tank and picking off scuds.

I mean betta will sometimes hunt and kill shrimp. Sometimes even big shrimp like amano shrimp ๐Ÿ˜… unless the betta you get just doesnt really like hunting much I'd think they'd go for the adults too

Scuds are probably a lot faster though, so ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Scuds are delightful little psychos in my tanks. They go everywhere and zip around at impressive speeds.

However they can't teleport the way Neocaridina shrimp can.
