Rehome Ghost Shrimp?

How do I rehome my Ghost Shrimp?
I love having shrimp, but I can't see these guys unless I'm right at the tank. Plus they're a little too aggressive for my tank.
I don't necessarily want to give them back to PetSmart. I have no idea how to ship them to someone who wants them. I also know no one around me that is into fish keeping. So what do I do with my Ghost Shrimp?

I would give them to a LFS. but if you want to give them to someone....post in the buy/sell/trade section. someone might want them. especially if you have some plants to throw in. how many do you have?

I have 20 Ghost Shrimp, 4 of which are berried females.
I have no plants, and I have no clue how to ship them to anyone.

How are you gonna find them all lol? I just took 5 out of my 20L QT and it took a good 10 minutes to find and catch them all in a bare bottom tank with no decor. I put them in my planted and now they are gone for good. I'll never find them again, I fear.

I can find them all when I do my weekly gravel vac/water change....I take all of my plants and decor out. So it's just them on the gravel and my fish in the water. But they were insanely hard to catch when I had to move them all from my 10G to my 29G. They are super fast and jump.

are there any mom-and-pop stores near you that will take them? a lot of those types of stores are only too happy to get free stock.

Boil them and serve with garlic and butter.

On a serious note, I would first look to see if any LFS will take them. If not, then I would feed them to other fish.

Well I was at PetCo today and they said they would take my Ghost Shrimp if I need to get rid of them.
While at PetCo I was amazed to find Albino Bristlenose Plecos! They never have these guys. So of course I had to get 1 for my 29G. So excited about him.
