now you're starting to sound worried... take out your other shrimps and get a good shrimp eater... a cleaner is easy to take out... the fireshrimp might be a mission, but some fish will leave them alone if it's big enough...

there's nothing writen on stone for these kinds of deals...

a certain fish might work for me but not for you... a lunar wrasse worked wonders for me... killed a couple of nussanse crabs and a HUGE pistol shrimp...

i took the fish back to my LFS, but i have another one that leaves shrimps alone all together... doesn't even eat glass shrimp that i feed my triggers... weird...

no one can tell you what fish will work for sure because every case is different... i have a friend that has a lionfish in the same tank as some seahorses...

this might be a weird idea but it might actually work. Back home we use a chunk of bacon on a string to catch crawfish, Im wondering if it will work for shrimp. I know my shrimps are always crazy attacking stuff when I feed they might grab the bacon and hang on long enough for you to get a net under it.

Might work... The down south redneck aproach

These pepper's are smart, they seem to know I'm trying to get them, I put a mountain dew bottle, with the top inverted. Will see tomorrow what happens.
that made me LOL...




i always say that when i'm trying to catch a fish in my tank... i hate it... it's like they know that i'm after them... they hide and just stare at me from behind the rocks... then all the other fish i'm NOT trying to catch always go in the trap/bag/bottle/fishnet... whatever i'm using to catch the other fish...


AAAARGH!!!...

and people say that these tanks take the stress out of us... if they only knew...
