He looks great, fins and coloring are nice. No obvious signs of ich or columnaris that I can see. I've had experience with bettas in community tanks, and one thing I've found is that when the betta is the first fish in the tank, new additions can be seen as invaders. I've had more success when the ...

I was mistaken about ghost shrimp being fragile. It's more about the conditions they're kept in at pet stores - overcrowded and poor.
