Do Male Betta's Eat..........?

Ghost shrimp... Now dont tell me They have to be a lone because i know different It all dependes on what kind of fish you put them with. Because i have had them with other fish and they have gotten along just fine. I just never try ghost shrimp so i was hoping some one out there might know All i would like to know is if they would eat or kill a ghost shrimp. Thank you

Update:

I dont need the ghost shrimp to last a long time. I am actully going to use them for food for another fish but i want to buy 3 or 4 at a time so i dont have to go back to the store all the time

    If they are a good size no, but ghost shrimp do not live that long usally. The ones i had only lived for 2 months but my brothers breed and he had over 50 after 3 mouths.

    I had a beta in with a ghost shrimp & a crab.... they did ok for a good while, but then the crab ended up eating the shrimp. I've also had them in with dwarf frogs, but the frog ate blood worms & would get confused & attack the beta's tail. It all depends on how & what you feed them & how the tank is set up. Get a big ghost shrimp & don't feed the crab smaller shrimp or he will eventually decide to go after the big guy too.

    Nope, ghost shrimp are too big.

    The betta may harass the ghost shrimp, but that's it.
