All my forage fish are going to be wild caught. I started the stocking last year and will continue this year. Since I cannot catch huge numbers like you can get when you buy them from a hatchery, I'm going to have to rely on natural reproduction to bump their numbers up before the predators go in... I figure 2 years of no predators and a year with fingerling predators, they should be pretty thick and off to a good start.
As far as the grass shrimp, the only two places I have found that mentions PK by name is
http://www.fishhobbysupply.com/invertebrates.php and
http://www.fattigfish.com/glshr.htm I think I am gonna place my order with one of them in another couple weeks. I am gonna call both up and see who will give me the best price... I will let you know how it goes. Probably gonna order 100. 50 will go into the pond I am talking about which is just a hair over a 1/3 of an acre and the other 50 will go into a small pond I am going to use just for forage fish.
