Hi everyone, i have a pair of skunk cleaner shrimps and they constantly spawn and end up with tiny offspring. I was wondering if it is possible to catch them, and how. i have heard of "traps" but i dont know how to make one. also, what should i feed the fry? maybe rotifiers? or cyclops? or perhaps phytoplankton?
 
They sell little breeder containers you stick in your aquarium, but I have seen peole make them as simple as a small tupperware container with tiny holes drilled in it to keep fry in. In the beginning stages, phyto, then move up to rotifers and then cyclops when they are big enough.

As far as catching them, since they are so small you could try and use a cup and just scoop as many as you can, or make a DIY net out of filter bag material, the smaller the micron the better.
