critter trap

[Justin/TiV]

anyone make a trap that would be great for catching shrimp, I have 2 I need to get out...and they are both reclusive. I have tried a regular fish trap...but they won't go for it. I'm hoping there is some kind of trap I can make that will lure them in, and keep them there for me to get later

thanx in advance

shrimps and critters alike are hard to trap by the traditional transparent can or acrylic traps..

BUT! I've had success by using a half transparent/half coloured water can (1,5 liter).. Seems that they get pretty confident with 'less than obvious traps', just try it..

I'm from Spain, and we've available two or three brands of bottled water that comes in 50/50 transparent/coloured bottles.. The opening is on the 'coloured' side, while the food is on the transparent one..

Just an idea,.

thanx for the idea...I'm not familiar with these water bottles. Not to sure we have these.

Thanx

Anyone else have any ideas

heres one I made to catch my flame angel.. I let it in for 24hours, added food to the back and he went right in...

neat. I have a fish trap like that, and my fish go right in, except for the one I'm wanting to catch, and of coarse the shrimp as well...
