    Umm, ghost shrimp LIKE (not saying they NEED) to be in groups of 4 or more.

    In a 10 gallon, yes. Anything less, no, and your females will need a bigger tank.

    there are many fish that are compatible as betta tankmates. The four rules that you can use to determine whether a fish is compatible are

    1) Not colorful or resemble a rival betta's colors (guppies)

    2) Not a fin nipper (Tiger barbs are a big NO)

    3) The right size for the size of the tank (No common plecos in a 10 gallon tank since they get to 2 feet in length)

    4) Lives roughly in the same water conditions as a betta (no brackish/saltwater fish)
