How to get rid of one peppermint shrimp

[Little c big D]

Has anyone already suggested a spear gun?

 

[Mjl714]

yes.

When I’ve trapped them it didn’t matter where i placed the trap, the shrimp will find the food. My trap was floating in the tank.

How can I catch it to get rid of it WITHOUT tearing my rock up

I use a big pair of tweezers at night time and pince them out the water

You cut a hole in the ice and place a single pea in it to float. When it comes to take a pee, you kick it in the ice hole. Oh wait, that’s how you catch a polar bear

The only immediate solution is to cook 'em with a burning laser pointer (if anyone you know illegally has one)

All other suggestions is to trap.... which is a long waiting game

We definitely found many solutions to the problem. I'm thinking the trap, otherwise m80s

I added a Flame Hawk fish, had no idea they like to eat shrimps.. needless to say, my cleaner shrimps all disappeared.

Buy a trigger

Treat the tank with interceptor, milbemycin oxime to rid your tank of pesty shrimp.

My god you guys seem to really dislike them and I understand. I shall use my military grade Laser pointer to have boiled shrimp tonight. In all seriousness I'm gonna use a trap with bait.

I used a skewer and a rubber band to make a home made "spear gun" and speared that little f%#$er right out of my tank. Never again will I have those little bastys in my tank.

Get yourself a Melenarus Wrasse.

This works - I have a pair and can’t keep a shrimp past a molt

 

[homer1475]

And my MEL, or any MEL I have had over the years hasn't touched my blood red shrimp, skunk cleaner, or the peppermint when it was alive.

Not a sure fire way at all.

Ok this has turned into an emergency. My GSP is no longer opening and last night I caught the bugger on it nipping. How Can I catch him Right now?

I doubt it was going after the GSP. If they did I would have 10 of them.

My pink spot goby has also taken a liking to my inverts .

My Mel doesn’t bother my cleaner or blood red either. I’m guessing the smaller peppermints are more appetizing!

I've spent hundreds on acrylic traps and the one that has never done me wrong was a bottle trap I made from a sprite bottle *Insert face palm*
