Are the shrimp you get from bait shops OK to put in a reef aquarium with a skunk shrimp, polyups, green bubble tip, fire fish goby, hermits, snails, and a pair of clowns?

In my area the shrimp at bait shops are grass shrimp(That still includes quite a few different species). They might be okay for a brackish or fresh water aquarium but there arent any saltwater species that I know of.

Really? I am in Florida and I am pretty sure the shrimp from bait shops are a salwater species. I could be wrong though...

Very possible, but I would double check.

Im next to a large brackish body of water.
