Cherry Shrimp Tank Dilema

[Sweeden]

Hello,
 
I have just had a birth of 20+ new shrimp who are tiny. 
 
My tank has been on my window for a couple of days and is covered in green algae on the glass. so needs to be cleaned. Whats the best way to do this without catching the tiny shrimp and killing them of?

Put some food on the other side of the tank? When I feed my shrimp, it's like a rugby scrum.

well i know you said you dont want to catch them but.. You could try a shrimp trap? Basicly they are made of cut water bottles then turning the drinking part inwards and put some food in there. There are many vids on Youtube telling how to make one
