    Why would you want to do this? Surely leaving them in their natural environment to play their part in the aquatic ecosystem would be best....

    No idea minktrapper but might be worth searching out an aquarium forum/community.

    I can't see it working tbh. most nymphs and all pupae are just going to evolve into something that wants to get out of your aquarium !
