shrimp trap

[JAR]

Any suggestions for a shrimp trap? I have one or two peppermint shrimp that are grazing on a couple of acan colonies.

Normal fish trap would be fine, or a clean open mouth jar set on it's side with some food on the bottom. Tie a string around the neck and when it heads to the bottom, pull the string. You'll want some holes to allow the water to flow out. I've caught every shrimp I've attempted like this

They only come out at night. Acan parts are missing in the morning. :tired:

Gresham's method works great, I've even used small fluted vases that way they have an even smaller hole to scoot out when extracting the trap. Wait an hour or two after the lights are out, if there's food in there you can bet your shrimp most likely is.

Orrrr you can get a rock with Aiptasia on it and feed the hungry little buggers.

I'll pass on the aptasia rock idea but thanks!

Bait your trap with really "stinky" food like a mysis, that seems to get my shrimp out.

There's also the 20 oz bottle trap, you cut the top off and turn it inside out, so the mouth piece is inside the bottle, glue it in that way, add a piece of shrimp, and then wait.

How about 16oz?
I think I could do that!
Thanks.

Flyers baby!!!!!

My money is on the Wings though, you have to play a perfect game in order to win, plus the Penguins are Phillys main rival.

Doh that's right (stupid me)

See I have to root for the Sharks since half my friends are huge fans and since you lived in hockey country I have to root for your team as well

I hate the Mighty Ducks though. (simply due to the Disney connection). Why does Disney need to own sport teams..like the Angels
