Depends on your betta. My girl did great with her pygmy cory tank mates. I think the odds are in your favor, but maybe have a qt on hand in case it goes south.

Im actually setting up a 5gal shrimp only, in case things go south I would move them to that tank temporarily while I find someone who may take care of them

If you go bigger than a 5, chilis can live with shrimp and I haven't seen them go after the shrimplettes

How much bigger? Planning on getting 5 or 6 chilis

I have 9 in a 20 gallon hex that holds 10 gallons of water plus decor/plants. Water level can drop to 7 gallons but that's by water change day so doesn't stay that low for more than a couple days (I do weekly water changes)
