I need to break down a dirted neocaridina shrimp tank and I'll try to remove as many as possible before I start yanking plants, but it seems inevitable that some stragglers will end up exposed to muddy water. Is this going to seriously harm them or are they going to be ok if I catch and move them into an established tank as I find them? The entire nano tank is wall-to-wall crypts at this point and I just don't think I can find and catch everybody before I get started (though I bet I can get the majority with broccoli as bait), nor can I pull those crypts without making a huge mess. Am I overthinking this, or do I need to prepare for loses? I have never actually broken a tank down, so I'm not totally sure what I'm in for.
