Help With Upgrade

ok, so, I know I need to get everything set up in the new tank, and I get about moving filter media etc, however, what my main concern is my shrimp...

They're a lot harder to catch than the fish, and the babies worry me most of all. They're so tiny, I'm scared of leaving any behind and them dying... I know "that's life" or "a risk you have to take" or whatever, but I really don't like the thought of them dying.

Any tips? I know I can get the bigger ones by putting a tupperware tub in the bottom of the tank with peas in it (they peas) but the babies wont even entertain stuff outside the coconut house just yet.

Maybe put a bit of food they like in a container in the tank, when their in the container, grab it out?

yeah, thats what I was thinking with the peas in a tub. But the little ones don't come out yet as they're still scared of everything outside... Big scary fishies, big scary hand with a net...

Maybe try with the lights out, then turn it back on after a little while and have a look?
