Currently I kept 1 ember in my tank to take care of all pests. Not really causing stress to shrimps

I have white cloud mountain minnows n neon tetras in my shrimp tank. I just leave them there. No seed shrimps or wriggling white worms anymore...

Even if you use trap and catch 'all' seed shrimps... the seed shrimps will be back again in no time. Too much food

Cut down on feeding, or stop feeding for a few days. These seed shrimps will stave to death.

Dunno how to remove... they have been with the shrimp for almost 2-3 weeks, just find them irritating.
I have lots of Shrimplets dunno if i intro 1 x mini puffer fish will it EAT my shrimpletsssss.

Just a observation. Im keeping 2 dwarf puffer. Gave them a packet of feeder ghost shrimps. All gone within 2 weeks. Of course around 50% died by natural causes. But thats still quite risky for ur tank.

same thinking with globalcookie. i also had similar problems till i reduce my feeding.

another possible solution is maybe to change to finer substrate. i used to see them living in the gaps between the substrate. but after changing to finer 1s, i don see them anymore. maybe it's due to reduced feeding, not too sure
