What are THESE shrimps?

are they macrobrachiums or simply caridina or neocaridina? (i need to know coz they didn't say in the shop- they were just labelled as mixed shrimp)

Are they safe to keep with caridina/neocaridina shrimps, elephant snails and porcupine snails?

I know the pics are a bit rubbish, so i'll say the smaller white one looks very similar to your average caridina shrimp but i can't tell wether or not it has long arms - which would suggest macrobrachiums. the blue one has a neocaridina type body shape is a dark blue colour and again, i can't tell if it has long arms or not as they are still quite small
 
Its hard to tell, i think they are either a Neocaridina or a Caridina species, probably a variety of Caridina cf. Babulti.

i think these are the best 3 pics if any body else has an opinion

To me they look cardinia. Thinking blue colour morph of "green" shrimp or a blue tiger shrimp. As I stated in the other thread it could of been dyed through a colour wash or food.
