After reading this and a few other threads on shrimp I am interested in seeing what dumping say 4k shrimp into my new 1.5 acre pond that is full of chara. I am interested to see if that number would do anything to the chara and to see what it would do for my BG and the young bass/crappie.

I have been hesitant about putting in other fish to take care of the chara (not sure i want to add the extra biomass in something i am not going to catch) and not really into putting chemicals in. They could do nothing for the chara but it would be interesting to see if they did. Also would love to pump up my BG as well.
