Cherry Shrimp Culling Tips?

[SuperGuppyGirl]

So thinking there has got to be an easier way to cull the troupe than the net method, any tips or tricks to share for live pulling, or for feeder :-)

WTB building something like the bug suckers that we used to make as kids but using syphon instead?

or or.... what about a big turkey baster?

Lol for feeder I use tweezers, but if trying for live I shoo them into a net and give it a little shake into the bag or my big tank

I came across this idea when looking for a bristleworm trap a few years back. A bristleworm trap may also work but they tend to be pretty tiny.

Those bottle traps work great on lots of fish too. Cichlids and betta's especially. Yoyo loaches seem to be strangely immune to them.

I would think that the easiest way for mass culling (live) would be to feed the shrimp and wait till they all gather over the food. Then do a big scoop and put them into a container that is easy to look into so you can sort them with a tiny shrimp net.
