If they die on there own first, sure, but adult ghosties are a bit big. Young they might produce on the other hand is just good eats

are they livebroaders like guppies and breed by themselves?

come get me tang police!
no, you won't likely get any viable offspring from them. Many require brackish water to successfully breed but even the full freshwater ones can be tough to breed. They go through a larval stage and can be difficult to raise.
If you want a shrimp that reproduces easily go with red cherry shrimp.

Ghost shrimp are good cuc, but amano shrimp are the best IMO/E. Both should be safe with your fish.

Can 2nd Mr Limpet with the Amano, they are great CUC, am thinking of adding some Ghost shrimp to the tank as well.
