catching fire shrimp

[tymon]

i have two fire shrimp i want to move to another tank and they are being a pain to move any suggestions. i do not want to move my whole rock formation to get them.

Put some raw shrimp into a large net. Wait for them to climb in after the shrimp and scoop them up.

can you drain the water at all?

If you try the net, youve gotta be quick! You can try using a coke bottle trap. Take a 20oz bottle and cut off the top, ivert it then glue it back on. Put some food in it and leave it overnight. I caught one of my fire shrimp this way, I think the other ones too smart :/

above describe methods will work. also shrimp are more active with lights off and water movement bare to none.
