Although morally questionable, it does seem to be a pragmatic way to get them out compared to dropping 4-5 beer into the tank…but maybe I misunderstood.

I think he meant sit next to the tank beer in hand lol

I imagine the bacterial bloom from a beer would be quite harmful

Btw if it doesn’t work you can (even more morally questionable) starve them for a day so they are more likely to come to your hand

Cleaner shrimps aren’t that fast. Come at them from behind so they can’t dash away

For a German, wasting 5 beers sounds like utter blasphemy!

It would be for a good cause. And I do not like beer (and sausage since we are on this topic).

Alcohol is a common carbon dosing method. Overdoing it may spike your bacteria, plummet oxygen, and drop nutrients like a stone.

Doing it to the level that will actually cause behavior changes in livestock doesn’t seem like a great idea to me

That’s why i suggest against that. Try a net before anything else. Maybe us a hose and siphon
