Those are Sulawasi, the top one I belive is a Cardinal. DO you have the names of the others?
There were no names in your post so I did not know if you knew what they were.

I have no clue, just doing some research on some random Chinese Aquarium Site, and found these pics. I was wondering anyone in states are breeding these.
There is a few people that have them from time to time on here.
The first is Cardinal, the second may be orange delight, i'm not sure and the third is red goldflake.
They require a high pH/gH/kH yet low TDS, very clean warm water to keep them. Most that you order will come from the wild and you will loose many with wild bought ones. The best is to get tank bred ones instead, but they are usually more expensive, mostly because someone has went through the trouble of ordering 200 wild caught ones, had 175 die and started a population from the 25 that made it.

Xenxes has them in his tank journal. they are noticibly smaller than the usual neos / caridinas
Guppies use to have some Cardinals-first picture. Don't bother with the rest. They are too hard.Here is one of the posts

aquabid.. its call cardinal hard to breed lol according to the website
If you really want to get them, shop around for wholesalers in Asia, the ones in Jakarta, Indonesia have very good prices on Sulawesi ($.50-$2.00 a shrimp), but keep in mind you have to order 200 minimum.
Feel free to pm me if you want to acquire contacts that I have personally dealt with.

maybe get a few people share the big package lol
http://www.planetinverts.com/Cardinal_Shrimp.html read the requirements..// ph is 7.0 above so figures you can keep with neocardina as for temp you need to put a heater in the tank~ prefer warm water 78 above, make sure you can do it before you keep it if not you will regret it. because it will die off if doesnt meet the requirements.
The second one is yellow nose red bee, I have seen some people call it fireball shrimp. The third is gold flake/yellow cheek. Both of them are caridina spinata.There is a few people that have them from time to time on here.

thanks guys, I'm new to this hobby...maybe it's too hard for a first-timer. I will definitely acquire them when I have all the correct setups.
