What Kind Of Shrimp Is This?

[Spader]

what is this, it was quite expensive, 2.99$ a shrimp (i got 3)

and when i turned the filter off, they were swimming all over the place. but once it was on they stay at the bottom of the tank. why?

Those look some really nice sized Caridina Japonica (Amano Shrimp).
