The quickest way is to take everything out and net them.

Idont really want to do that i have bout 140 # of lr and a lot of other stuff in there lol but i guess if thats the only way to do it then thats what ill have to do

Take an empty plastic coke bottle and cut the top off as close to the top as possible, but low enough so that the cut is all the way around the widest part of the bottle. Turn the top that you cut off backwards and stick it in the bottle so that the mouth is now inside the bottle. Now you have a trap that works pretty good for shrimp. Bait it on the inside and when the shrimp crawl in, they get stuck.
:joy:

I know my pepermint shrimp eat just about every thing i put in there but is there some food that will just really get theem going a hop right in that trap lol?

Dont spot feed them for a few days, then anchor a decent size piece of food to a small piece of rock/rubble inside the trap. They should be hungry and go in--never tried it, but seems it may work. HTH
