That third picture is not the same species as the first two pictures. I don't know what the shrimp in the first two pictures is (except that it looks like some of the species I've seen imported from India), but the third picture is a Neocaridina sp.. I'm pretty sure it's a N. denticulata sinensis (=heteropoda). If all these shrimp came in the same bag, this means the dealer you got them from is keeping them in the same tank or has stragglers of one species in a tank when he puts a new species in the same tank.

The shrimp in the first two pictures looks nice, though. Both pictures show a female (same female?), so if you are lucky enough to have males you could try breeding them and see how large their eggs are.

Do you realize that the shrimp in the last picture is yet another species? So far your pictures have shown three different species of shrimp. Did you get a "mixed bag of shrimp", or were these sold to you as one "species"?

Looks like all these different species were "stored" in the same holding tank at the pet store/dealer. Then they are indiscriminately scooped up and sold under the same name. Happens all the time....
