CrabbyCrabs Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 What's the best method to catching cleaner shrimp. When I use a bottle trap I just catch clowns, repeatedly. I'd rather not remove rock/Coral as my clowns are nesting so I think they are about to breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennywise Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I normally put my hand in and they go in my hand and I kinda close my hand. Maybe I'm a shrimp whisperer 🤔😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Mine crawls all over my hand every time I reach into the tank, especially if I'm holding any food. I'd try food in one hand and a net in the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabbyCrabs Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Ha, never thought of that. I tried food in a net but just catch fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantanewtank Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Just curious why do you want to remove your shrimp? My wrasse ate my shrimp and snails so placing food in a net is a great idea to catch my wrasse and trade her in for snails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabbyCrabs Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 They kill conchs, at least one does. Like the 4th or 5th one. Were in my girlfriend's tank and she lost a few so moved them to mine and a week later they feasted on my fighting conch. One tried to kill a trochus but I fended it off with a plastic stick. So I'm gonna trade them in for little baby ones. These are large ones I've had about a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
