Eric,
Heading to the casinos in hopes of securing the purchase price of the scuds is one thought however, I was thinking more along the lines of scud habitat. I gleaned this;
Usually scuds inhabit weedy or heavily vegetated, shallow pond areas. BE sure you have some dense weedy areas for long term survival or you are for sure wasteing your money. Some species are basically stream or cold water species.
