    Have tried putting malayan with betta cocinna of size only 3cm and witness them hunting down the shrimps in the planted tank. So a big no no to shrimps and betta setup even for bigger sized yamato as they will surely be very stressed.

    anyway new here

    not really understand the term betta but check it out and it mean fighting fish generally...

    my workplace tank had a couple of yamato and so far 4 betta in there...the better generally stayed on surface and rarely come down at all...

    4 bettas in a single tank? they are probably female.. wells, different bettas have different temperaments. some may hunt and stress the shrimps some may leave them alone..

    nope....theres 1 seasoned male(might be female cause he is short tail but too bright to be one) who is in the tank since i join the workplace,he bigger than the other 3 there but then he just swim around to eat and neither do i see him wacking another one..while another 3 sibling (some senoir rear them ) occasionnally chase one another but still swim together ...

    I don't think a big tank will help much other than maybe giving the shrimp more places to hide. I had female bettas in a 3ft tank but they still ate up my yamatos.
