Prawns will do best in weedy ponds. the prawns will not survive very long in clean bottom ponds or even in ponds with good amounts of structure AND with predators such as bass. They are pretty vulnerable to predation. Do not expect them to reproduce in your pond. It takes a fairly high salinity content for reproduction to occur successfully. The link that ewest provided should verify this salinity-reproduction relationship.
