Is it ok to put a ghost shrimp, aquarium frog,or snail in a tank with A BETTA? Is it safe for both creatures?

I hear that the bettas will eat ghost shrimp but how will the fish react with a small aquarium tank frog or a snail? My betta "Albus" is very tempramental and lives in a one gallon aquarium. I need to know before I test his pride and limits before I end up killing the poor thing. Please help me!!!!!

in general, you won't want to mix any bullet-shaped fish, especially those with fancy fins, with a male betta. if your fish seems very aggressive (like flares when you put your hand near the tank, or flares at a plant or something) you probably shouldn't mix the betta with any other animal.

if your betta is fairly lazy, as many are, there shouldn't be a problem introducing a snail (they have their own protection, too), or a frog such as an african diving frog. consider the size of the ghost shrimp relative to the betta... could he perceive it as food? i don't think he'd be territorial with a shrimp but he might try to eat it.

i don't think the other animals would attack your betta though.
