    The trap in that You-Tube video works pretty well..

    Been using the 2L bottles like that and the smaller ones for years in my FW tanks for catching fish in heavy rockwork/plants.

    Yes they moved, copepods walk, this ones kind of crawl, or slide trough the body
    The video won't work in my tank since mine is a 12g nano cube

    you have a 12g and it's too much to pull the rock out? you can't have that much rock in there, why not just fill a bucket and pull the rock for a min?

    I know is a 12g only, my rock are very small pieces, if I was to place them in a 50 gal it will be nothing but ruble, so it is quite bit.

    Most likely cirolanids, they are a pain to get rid of
