How Big Is Yours... (Red Cherry Shrimp)?

[sbenbow]

I am thinking / looking to get some RCS for my tank - all I had seen before were the smaller fry (0.5-1cm).  I have been to a few other LFS's over the past week, and have been amazed at how big some of the RCS (and other varieties) can get.
 
I was going to get quite a lot (10 or so) for my tank, but looking at how big they can get I'm rethinking to just 2 to 4.
 
That made me wonder what the biggest RCS shrimp is that you've seen? 
 
I know they technically grow to 4 or 5 cms, but I hadn't grasped what that actually looked like in the flesh before!

I keep RCS in my main tank. The females are bigger than males, males about 3/4 of an inch and females grow to about an inch.

Females are also much more red than males. That makes it easy to identify genders!

Thats about the largest have seen RCS however largest different species shrimps I've seen is in LFS and Bamboo Shrimps are pretty big. About 2.5 to 4 inches! But can be quite hard to keep these healthy in a tank.

Macros (not really a shrimp but an invert of sorts) grow to about a foot apparently!
