I've never had any reproduction from the scuds dispite there being vegetation in the ponds. I'm not sure what the problem has been. For G.lacustris (the large ones) it is the water temperatures get too warm for them in my Ohio area. They are a cool water species similar to trout water cool and they seem to do well in weeds called coontail.
