    I had a Marine Betta in a reef. Only problem was it killed shrimp all the time. Only thing that survived it was a big CB shrimp. THat is a majestic beautiful show stopping fish however. Hope you copper lasts, I gave up on those. Although you will have more then double the feeding grounds.

    I dont care much about the shrimp, i think im going to order one shortly as its one of my all time favorite fish. I actually dont have any shrimp in the tank right now as it is.
