These are great responses, thanks! After the dam was repaired about 15% of the pond is actually flooded grassland. In addition we have had some "normal" vegetation growth, the reason for adding the grass carp.
Since the PK shrimp are a non-native, illegal, species for SC ponds I want to stick to the native PP shrimp. It looks like I may have to source them myself. I am guessing they'll be found be closer to the coast which is a 2-3 hour drive. Looks like I need to spend more time talking to my DNR friends.
Again thanks for the input. I'll try and share some pictures at some point I am really proud of the pond. I've already had blue heron, wood ducks and mallards visit, in addition to the deer and turkey.
