Hi.
I keep mine in a 10 gallon tank with some egg crate and some empty paper towel or toilet paper tubes. I usually get a baggie, hold the baggie in the tank, pick up the paper towel tube, and shake the end of it into the baggie. For some reason they like to gather in the tubes, so it makes it very easy.

I have one of those big bins the clear ones so you can see inside ( I got mine @ walmart for $5) ,I drilled holes on it and put my 1000+ crix with a bowl of water gel and crix food from flukers and put egg crates inside :mrgreen:

I use papertowel tubes as well although they do like to eat them so I replace it everytime I get a new empty papertowel roll. I shake them into a ziploc container to dust them then dump them into my feeding container! Works wonders
