PK will thrive in eel grass - my experience. If you get PK from soft water just temper them by slowly adding your pond water (1 qt at a time every several minutes) to the water the shrimp are in. Maybe transfer the receiving shrimp to a larger bucket for the tempering. This should also temper the water temperature.

Coontail does have benefits but I am not use the few benefits outweigh all the negatives.
