I buy a sponge to fit right over my filter intake. I bought this for my 6 gallon shrimp tank:

Amazon.com: Pre-Filter Sponge 3 Pack for Fluval Edge Aquarium: Kitchen & Dining

Before I bought this product, I put 40 shrimps in a tank and lost over a dozen shrimps from my filter. I haven't lost any shrimp ever since I got this sponge.

This is what my tank looks like right now:
