yes, ghost shrimp are bred as feeders primarily and in my experience, aren’t healthy in general. they arent fed good foods, are heavily overstocked at the breeders, wholesalers, and stores, and are kept in poorer conditions. 

I figured as much. Thanks for replying so fast!

Neos breed like guppies.  

Cover in my tank isn't the greatest, so I wouldn't expect to many babies to survive, but that would be an awesome project to try!

Having trouble with keeping ghost shrimp, especially while they're acclimating. Should I expect better luck with neos? They're tough to get in my area, and I want to make sure I'm ready for them when I can get my hands on them.
