Default How to remove loads of water flea in shrimp tank?

my shrimp tank seems to have evolved into a daphia culture tank. Sight of them is quite irritating. Anyone got any suggestions on how to get rid of them?tx

Anything that moves and can fit into the fishes mouth is food. Even if the shrimps cannot fit their mouths, they may still poke them from time to time.

Just have lots of hiding places for your shrimps and all should be fine.
