Shrimp Infestation

My 10 gallon ADF tank has been overrun with both ghost and cherry shrimp. I started with 3 of each and only lost 1 RCS. I knew it was possible for the RCS to multiple but not the ghost. At first I was able to keep up by catching them and feeding them to the inhabitants of my other tanks but I can't seem to control the pop any more. What is the most efficient way for controlling the pops? When I lift up my logs and caves they swarm out; most are about a centimeter long.

Would anyone buy them? My RCS most certainly are not the brightest red, more like a burnt red.

Some people just like shrimp. They are fun to watch and great little cleaners.

If nobody will buy them, try giving them away. Many pet stores will accept them. You could also ask for a bit of money
