Well i went to thin out the large amount of frogbit i had in my 110g.
I knew there would be some cherry shrimp that would be up there hiding and would be netted out accident so i got a bucket and filled it with water to have them drop to the bottom.
Took 2 scoops with a net and emptied it into the bucket. Looked down to see if i caught any shrimp and hell....there were about 5 large ones and 50 babies. So small that I probably couldn't see them when looking in the tank, but in the bucket very noticeable.
Now that was only 2 scoops of probably 30 needed thin the plants out enough.
I think I should seriously go to the local area fish exchange and see if anyone wants some frogbit with cherry shrimp. It's either that or pull each plant out individually, dip to get shrimp off and discard the plant. Only problem is there are some tiny snails on the plants as well that i wouldn't want others having to deal with.
