The "dwarf green" are the Green Shrimp from my Shrimp Varieties website, although the ones on the pic don't look all that great with one of them practically a walking dead shrimp (the light colored one).

It's hard to say what's in the first picture without knowing where these shrimp came from since there are many more or less see-through dwarf shrimp species out there. At first sight it looks like a Neocaridina species actually. Do you know what country they were imported from?
