Default Re: how many shrimp

Depends on how hungry the betta gets. 1-2 if you want to feed minimally and provide plenty of hiding spaces for the shrimp. Up to 10 if you would like to feed generously, but you will need a very densely planted and/or structured tank for the shrimp to feel safe and not stressed in. I would recommend live plants and driftwood if you would like to keep lots of shrimp, and they LOVE moss.

I don't think it matters too much. However many you get, they will all eventually be gone.
