Will mollies eat ghost shrimp?

I have a 10 gallon with a 5 mollies and two snails.
I was thinking about getting ghost shrimp but I'm afraid they will be eaten.

I also have a betta tank but I'm pretty sure he would eat them the second they went in...

A 10 gal is way too small for 5 mollies. I'd rehome the mollies as soon as possible or upgrade to a larger tank.

They might eat the ghost shrimp if they'll fit in their mouths.

Do ghost shrimp need a filter or running water?

A filter would be best for them, though if you can't provide that, daily or frequent water changes are a must.

Hi, welcome to fishlore

I have never had a problem with any of my community fish eating ghost shrimp. Generally speaking they are too big. Cherry shrimp on the other hand........
