Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait Ghost Shrimp

I have been reading about shrimp on here, and thought they looked familiar. I am part owner of a large wetland complex in MO that we regularly get flooded by the river and inundated by the large CORPs lake just downstream (they have flowage easement).

We try to drain the place every spring and the bar ditches seethe with life after the water is mostly gone. Last weekend I was able to catch several of these critters with every swipe of a dip net. Are these ghost/PK/Mississippi shrimp?

I may transfer some to my new pond but I'm a bit leery after reading they tend to stir up the bottom. I already have clay turbidity issues.
