Re: Possible shrimp trap?
Joseph, the bottle trick doesn't work... these darn shrimps are 'smarter' than I thought. Either that, or the bottle's mouth can't be too narrow.
I tried using a smallish critter keeper that has a slotted-cover with a hinged feeding lid. Weighed down with some ceramic rings and lying on it's side, the 'catch' wasn't too bad. I now have about a hundred of them in a tub and will repeat until the population is 'managable'.
What surprised me was to find another species of shrimp, which I thought I had siphoned out and hopefully these two won't hybridize.
While the 'tank trap' is OK, I'm not convinced that it's the best method.
C'mon guys, where are all the smart alexs when we needed them!
I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,
