youcallmenny Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) I've had issues with them in the past but I've had one in my frag tank for several months with no problems. Inverts are unpredictable. I had to squish an emerald in my display a few weeks ago because I sat there and watched him ripping pieces off a super healthy welso. As for catching the shrimp, I just waited until the lights were out and the peppermints came out to forage. A simple hand net handled it from there.

Just take a pop bottle or a large snapple bottle shown here and cut the neck off flip it upside down secure it with a rubber band, poke a bunch of small holes in the bottom for scent flow, bait it with a meaty treat and toss a small rock in to weigh it down and wait.......... Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 You could've been sold camel shrimp by mistake. They're easily misidentified when young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymousreefer Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Sweet I appreciate it, I did this last night and caught one and the other two were tripping out on the rubber band so I reef glued it instead and that should do the trick. Thanks everyone! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
