Re: coral banded shrimp

I must have a really dumb CBS. Mine gets in the way of everything. I can touch him with the net while trying to catch someone else, he moves a little but mainly just flails his big arms around at the net.

Re: coral banded shrimp

If you try to catch the CBS barefisted, beware the pinchers! IME heh heh. Truthfully that was the toughest thing to catch when I moved all my livestock to a bigger tank. Looking back I should have drained the tank some and removed all the LR first. Hindsight 20/20! Good luck catching him! I'll never buy one again

GOT HIM. RIP. Begone, evil creature. I bought myself some latex gloves (washed carefully, of course), then I removed a couple of my largest rocks and managed to nab the little bugger. Amazing now how the fish are starting to populate the side of the tank where the CBS lurked.

That's because he knows you're not trying to catch him.
