My pistol shrimp is causing me headaches. He relandscapes my 34g solana every night, covering up my acans and clams, and shifting my rockwork around.
Is there a fish that will eat him? or how do i get rid of him? I dont want to take everything out of the tank to try and catch him
Full Version: I Hate my Pistol Shrimp

lol why would you want it?? I would probably throw him in the trash!
NO WAY! I want it! I have a small 1g speciman only tank with NOTHING in it right now.... I want it... seriously!
Home made trap:
Take a 20 oz. soda bottle, cut the top off at the same diameter as the bottom. Insert the top into the bottom so it acts as a funnel pointing in. Put in a piece of shrimp, fish etc.. DIY mini lobster trap....
THEN SHIP HIM TO ME!

I guess it is true.. one man's pest is another man's pet ..
I promise to love him, feed him, and take very very good care of him....
hahaha.... seriously... I do want that thing... it's on my "strange but true" wanted list.... along with a few other things such as a pom pom crab.... a colorful peacock mantis... and a few other things....
Consider shipping it if I pay shipping charges????

This will work, but will take some time. Typically you catch everything BUT the undesireable with these things. Good luck!
Oh, and if KevinStan is going to pay shipping, do this before killing him. Wasn't his fault he ended up in a tank, after all!
