What is the best way to get all the shrimp out?

Remove all harscape and plants, place a plastic mesh over the substrate and then just use a net back and forwards to catch all the shrimp, did this on my 60l when I changed the substrate, did not miss a shrimplet, there were around 400-500 shrimp in there when I though I had max 200 lol

Thanks Paulo,

I would like to change my substrate, but I am sure that there will be lots of shrimp there. 🙂

Will try that technique.

ill porbably do the pop bottle method. cut pop bottle in half, turn the top upside down and insert into the bottom with some food in. bit like a lobster cage and its worked well before.

hairgrass, HC, hydrcotle, tennelus, moss, fissidens and two types of ferns and maybe bolbitus

cheers andy, not started it yet although with these long nights drawing in its the perfect time for late night scaping 🙂 Not long now I hope before I can get another journal going.

My serafil filter on my 60cm tank packed up whcih was going to be the holding tank for the fish and shrimps while I re-scaped the 90cm 🙁 Ill probably run them in a large tub with the 90cm filter now instead.
