Anyone try shrimp in their pond?

Crustaceans are very intolerant of certain compounds, like copper.

I put probably < 200 over the course of a month that I had caught in a minnow trap in a irrigation canal here near Houston, Texas in my pond of approximately 1/8 acre. Some looked like ghost shrimp, some looked like prawns with one very long claw. A few weeks ago, I was dredging out massive mats of foxtail weed and there are now THOUSANDS of shrimp in the pond. I'm sure the sunfish love them.

@dolphns13 This thread is several years old and the OP hasn’t been around in a few years.

Hello and welcome! What kind of pond do you have? Why not go over to our “introductions” topic and us about yourself.
