How well does bamboo shrimp and ghost shrimp handle brackish?

I know there's at least one species of Ghost Shrimp that is naturally brackish though I don't know about Bamboo shrimp and I don't know if either can be permanentely acclimated to brackish (that are not naturally so). Something else I know is Ghost Shrimp can survive in full saltwater for several hours before dying.

i have an amano shrimp and a rudolph shrimp in my brackish tank. the salt in the water helps them with their molting keeping out disease when they are most vulnerable and also the salt draws out the moisture harsening the shrimps shell quicker. brackish or even a little aquarium salt in my experience is very beneficial to fresh water shrimp.
