Can't say it enough, I didn't know there were more than a meager few ghost shrimp left in my 150 gal. rubbermaid. On rare occassions I would see one shrimp, though occassionally there would be this wild chase to the death. Yet upon shutting down and cleaning it, I found 100's of grass shrimp as well as crawdads. They successfully kept out of sight of the 10'+ RES that scoured the tank looking for a tasty morsel. If there's small rock and weeds, there's likely a population of little shrimp staying out of sight of predators. The stupid ones are removed from the gene pool by your predator fish. Try slowly turning over some rocks in shallow clear water and watch for 'em. If you find 1 shrimp, there's others. It finally rained in NE 'Bama. My 2 yr old sandy hole has 3' of water now. If it keeps a raining, you bet the shrimpies are going in this spring.
