by the way, people actaully use the same method to capture wild fish.
Want to catch your shrimp out but its hard to catch because your tank is a heavily planted tank?
heres what i did today. using only a 500ml water bottle and caught me 50cherry shrimp within 10mins
first cut the bottle into half.
Then turn the top part of the bottle around and insert in the bottom part of the bottle. after that. place your shrimp or fish favourite food inside.
soon shrimps will swim in, but they somehow or rather, can't find the way out.
By doing this, there will be minimal stress and also no damange to your dense planted tank. Imagine using a net trying to catch shrimps out in a dense planted tank. this method is worth a try if you are trying to catch out a batch of shrimps

very clever trap
Correct me if I'm wrong...Isn't this the exact same trap suggested by many to flush out the pesky SAE? I've tried it about a year ago and i must say it really does the job of trapping fauna in. It's just that about EVERYTHING goes in there? The last time i tried, i found corys, ottos, minnows, snails, shrimps and everything curious enough to join the party!Annoying thing is eventually i never managed to lure my SAE in the goddamn trap!
Unless you're applying this contraption on a shrimp ONLY tank,I'd say it's gonna be very frustrating when you awake the next morning and realize half the fauna in your tank are stuck within a small bottle!
i tried it before, managed to net 2 SAE and a tetra in half an hour. i was after the SAE
