Please Help

How do I catch two camel back shrimp in a small 16 gallon nano without disturbing the rock structure in place. I added some Xenia yesterday and both camels immediately jump on the Xenia and stared munching. I was in shock to say the least. The LFS said they were reef safe. Got to get them out!

Help

Get a live fish trap and bait it with their favorite food place it where they like to hang out, and wait and watch!

Made a trap out of a water bottle. Baited it with squid. This set-up attracted my yellow gobie. He got near the overflow to the filter and got sucked into it!!! Now he is dead. Jesus, what next. I am about ready to give-up. Anyone want a 16 gallon COMPLETE nano for $300.

How did the gobie get next to the overflow???

Its your call, but if I were you, I would break down the rock works.

p.s. I don't think you should put the bottle next to the overflow......whatever attracted to the squid in the bottle will be sucked out......

Maybe you should bait the trap with Xenia!

Coudn't help it, sorry...

The trap is still the best idea. I can't think of a better one. A smaller trap might do the trick?

Good luck,
