Ghost shrimp

[KrisDeitz]

Can they survive in saltwater? Or is there a Alternate shrimp i could grow?

I want to feed it to my puffer fish. I may even set up a little 5 gallon tank just to raise them. Or is there a just as cheap shrimp i could raise to feed my puffer

Grass shrimp are similar but live in saltwater. I don't know of anywhere that carries them though. I've caught some (years ago) in the FL Panhandle and they were great seahorse food.
