Shiners broadcast their eggs on underwater vegetation in shallow water (typically 24" or less). A customer that has a self sustaining population in his pond always has flooded grass that is about 12" underwater when the shiners start their spawn in May. The Hydrilla would work if it's in shallow water or growing up to within a foot or so of the surface and dense.
