Need help identifying the type of shrimp I have

[auptimus]

Hello.

I have a shrimp tank.
It has 3 super red cherry female.
In addition there are a few other orange shrimps.
These shrimps were sold to me as "red hawaii shrimp". however, I have my doubt about it.
They gave birth a week ago, within 5 days all the transparent babies turned orange as well.
I have no salt added to my tank- purely freshwater. so I am very suspicious.
I know I can rule out cherry as they do not turn red this fast, but I heard about the cardinia orange shrimp that have been spreading around.
I am attaching some photos:

In the first 2 photos you see 2 super red cherries on the left, and one so-called hawaii or orange on the right. the third photo is only the so called-hawaii. The babies you can also see, they came from the pregnant hawaii. is it true opea ula? cardinia orange? cherry? what is it?
The forth photo also has 2 super red and one "hawaii"...

I wanna add more shrimp types so I need to know what I can mix without hybrids.

Hello, I too need help identifying a shrimp. I purchased this at a pet store chain along with several other ghost shrimp about a year ago, it has since out grown them and killed them. It is almost 5 inches long from nose to tail.

Thats a crayfish buddy, they don't do well with shrimp.

That's *not* a crayfish. It's a Macrobrachium rosenbergii shrimp. It's a giant shrimp species reaching 10 inches plus in body length (not counting claws). As for the original post above...they are all red cherry shrimp.
