Thanks for the information. Putting a few in the refrigerator to determine if they are the right species is a great idea. Another question. How deep of a pond will the shrimp need to survive the winter. I ask because my property has a 2,000 square foot puddle/pond that is only a foot or two deep. I assume it used to be a little bigger cattle watering hole. It doesn't have an outlet pipe and small dam has a gulley cut through it that has lowered the water level about two feet. I would like to turn this into a forage pond that I could have pk shrimp and maybe fathead minnows in. I could then net some and add them to my 1.5 acre pond as forage. The larger pond has a healthy population of bluegill, largemouth, and catfish so I don't think the shrimp will last long in it.
