Default Trapping Shrimp

My fish are dumb.

So I built one of those fang-dangled pop bottle traps to try and catch my 2 Saron shrimp so I could move them to my sump. I weighted it with some crushed coral fired in some bloodworms and set it down on the bottom of the tank facing some of the rockwork.

Well within 10 minutes I find not only my sailfin mollie but also my lawnmower blenny thrashing around inside the trap. I'm glad I checked it instead of leaving it for the night. Now I'm too scared to put it back in.

Anyone have any suggestions of how I could catch the shrimp instead. lol
