Hey, thanx for the replies. I have checked into it alittle and Florida is the same a Texas as far as selling them alive. I have done some extensive reading on the prawns. And my pond is too deep to grow them comercialy. Besides I would have to get rid of all my fish to grow shrimp. I was just trying to think of something I could do on the side that would not mess up my lmb, bg pond. I am a new pond owner doing some day dreaming. Thanks John
