Grass shrimp need more finely divided submerged habitat that brush and junk. Think large patches of small narrow leaf pond weeds; Small Pond Weed (Potamogeton) species is one good example. For a brand new pond for stocking grass shrimp, you might as well toss dollar bills into the pond. Same long term benefit. Unless you have actually collected grass shrimp in wild pond lake habitats one does not realize what type of cover they require to thrive.
