    "blonde" Dwarf Frogs....?

    Female Betta With Shrimp

    I had cherry shrimp with my betta Lunar for over 6 months (maybe even 8 months) and he never paid attention to them! But then all of a sudden he saw them as food and within a week he either just killed them or ate over 2 dozen! So no more shrimp with any of my bettas
