The eBay glass shrimp was Palaemonetes pugio. P.pugio and P. intermedius are marine and brackish water glass shrimp. I "assume" these are also native to the deep south.

The glass shrimp most common in waters from southern Ontario to northeast mexico is: Palaemonetes kadiakensis. I have these growing in one of my ponds in NW Ohio but I don't have enough of them to sell. The fish population keeps them thinned out too much.

Macrobrachium ohione - River shrimp:
This is also another freshwater shrimp which would live year-round in ponds from Eastern Texas north to southern Michigan. They occur mostly in shallow wetland & backwater areas around the Mississippi drainage system. This shrimp is bigger (3"-4"long) than than glass shrimp (1"-1.5"). At 3"-4" long these would get big enough to clean them and have "popcorn" shrimp. These larger shrimp are called Macrobrachium ohione or "river shrimp". Since they are larger they may not do well in ponds with a large fish population; fish would probably prey hard on them.
