Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Want to get in on a PK shrimp order?

I think most guys on the forum will get their orders in sometime in the Spring - say March or so. Determining qty of stocking depends on several factors from what I've learned thus far, including:

High amount of aquatic vegetation means fewer needed as they have more habitat to conceal themselves

Lower populations of panfish means fewer needed

If one supplements feeding with pellets, probably means fewer needed

I believe barley straw is reported to help with algae blooms...including FA. With that in mind I agree that would be a good choice as it provides additonal benefits! Good thinking!

I will be sure to post about four weeks before I place the initial order - pricing is contingent on qty - so there is strength in numbers when we all go together! I want to create a forage pond for GSH, FHM and PK shrimp so I will probably be ordering a bunch to get them going in there. Hard to think about next Spring already...a long winter awaits us in NE.
