serpae tetra, ghost shrimp

Question
Hi, I have a male betta in a 2 gal. tank...I bought two ghost shrimp to go along with it, but the betta tried to eat them, so i put them in a small, seperate container for now. I am wanting to get 3 serpae tetras and a (2-3?) gallon tank...will the tetras eat the shrimp or ignore them?...if they will eat them, what small tetra or danio do you recommend me to get?
thanks, Cheryl.

Answer
Hello Cheryl!
Danios and tetras won't eat/attack the shrimp. The betta attacks them because it has probably never seen them before and it probably thinks that they are invading its area.
As long as the shrimp are not with any semi-aggressive/aggressive fish they'll be OK.
Hope this helps!
