AR, congratulations! Best of luck on your piece of trout heaven.

As for PK shrimp, my experience has been that they need relatively high alkalinity to thrive. I stocked 1,000 into my pond, but haven't seen a one in the years since that time. Unfortunately, my pond is naturally low in alkalinity, despite liming. Probably your spring water is much better.

Please keep us up to date on how your project is going!
