HI there!

I was wondering if I could have suggestions for betta safe amano shrimp hides. Meaning, hides that my amano shrimp will be able to use to get away from my betta but also the betta won't get stuck in or anything. Something natural looking.

It'll be going in a 5 gallon fluval spec v.

I already have these but I would like something else too.

Cholla wood.

I'd go for chola wood, a very common type of natural wood for shrimp tanks. I've made fake chola wood decor in a ceramics class and it seems the loaches like it too.

I've heard terrible stories of betta's getting stuck in Cholla wood...
I have a tiny stack of rocks that some RCS go in and hide from the betta in. A tangle of moss would work as well, or some other little thicket of plants, maybe anacharis.
Edit: the stack of rocks was initially just to hold down an Amazon sword, but then all the shrimp started hiding in there. So you could do something pretty with it.

Bamboo yard stake would work too, just cut it into 3-4" lengths and put it together like the pipe ones. If you want to be more artsy, cut them longer and sand the final product down to look how you want.
