I.d. Long Arm Shrimp....please

[apj]

Hi...can anybody help with identifying my newest shrimps. I bought 6 of them today, the largest has a body about 1 inch, and has more stripes than the shrimp pictured, but my pics of him/her were too blurred. I can't find a pic on the net that matches closely at all. (I'll try for better pics and put them on if needed)

I've got others that I can't I.D. for definate, but I'll start with this one...

Cheers to all that take look

Looks like caridina cf. babaulti green to me, they are sometime referred to as rainbow shrimp as they can vary from shades of red and brown to shades of green, but more often as just green shrimp. Easy to keep and breed and like fairly hard water.
