What To Do....

[lordofthesea]

I really want to set up a freshwater invert tank with snails and shrimps, but am not sure what to do.

at the moment my snails and shrimps are scattered around several tanks. the snails and amano shrimps are in with my bettas and the atyas are in my community. I really want to combine all my inverts in one tank as with them scattered, i can't treat any tanks with copper based remedies in the event of disease. I can't set up another tank and can't shut down my community tank. what should I do?

How large is the community tank?
What fish are in the community?
Are you reffering to atya the filter shrimp or atyids?

atya shrimp, can't put the bettas in the community tank. the betta tank is 5 gallons

the thing is, the betta tank is 20 litres, the community is around 120 litres. the bettas and shrimps can't go in the community tank as they'd be beaten up - even eaten. i want to put all the inverts into an invert only tank. however, my parents wont let me get another tank and this leaves the question of what to do with the bettas! anyone have any ideas?
