What kinds of shrimp do you have in your tank?

I've got Tiger, Blue Shrimps, and RCS Red Cherry Shrimps. My RCS aren't very red coz I wanted to start with some cheaper ones and they were like USD0.40 each.

Here are some pix of the RCS :

Amanos! I love these little guys, but don't have pics to post atm... try to get some up soon!
 
I have snowballs, RCS, yellows, blue/black sp, amanos, bamboo, ghost, and 1 sp of Macro shrimp. Not to mention 2 sp of crayfish.
 
I have cherry shrimp, tiger shrimp, "wild-coloured green" shrimp (neocaridina), and some black/blue shrimp, which I only have 3 of and they're all females. I find the tigers a lot smarter than the cherries (They figure things out faster, evade my net 100x more often), and if this is typical of caridina VS neocaridina, I'd suggest bee shrimp or crystal red shrimp (CRS).
 
Right now I just have cherries. But, I'm hoping to find a good deal on Amanos soon as they are good algae eaters. Plus they seem pretty cool.

I'm also thinking of getting either a bamboo shrimp or a wood shrimp, though leaning toward bamboo for the color.
 
Just picked up a Vampire Shrimp yesterday (African Giant Filter Shrimp)... he's blue/gray and about 1.5" right now. $8 at my LFS.

Now, my wife's looking for somewhere to put our unused 10 gallon tank so she can have an invert tank. If she had her way, we'd probably get rid of the fish in our 36 gallon bow front and fill it with 100 ghost shrimp, and the vampire of course!

I see the ghost and amano's. The red and snowball shrimp hide most of the time.
