Neither pond has anything but shiners and minnows in one and suckers in the other, so if they don't take hold I can't blame it on them being eaten. Come spring I will do a seine survey to see what if any survival I got... If they do take hold, they will no doubt add to the natural food chain.


I'm going to try and bring this old thread back up to see if we can get an update from CJBS2003. There have been some recent questions about grass shrimp so maybe he can give us an update to this 2009 thread and tell us how they did in his pond. This old thread may not work. Will see if it will load because I had to adjust the URL to bring it up.
