Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Freshwater shrimp

Well... I may have discovered a source. Are "Ghost Shrimp" the same thing? If they are, my local WalMart supercenter has them in the aquariums / fish department for 28 cents each. The label said 74-78 degrees. If they are the same, is it safe to assume that they would survive the winters in South Central Illinois and in the slightly muddy water of a new pond? Also, how quickly do those rascals reproduce? I'm thinking they'd better put rabbits to shame if I hope to have an adequate supply for forage in my pond without going broke.
