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
 
The blue one looks like a cardinia to me perhaps blue tiger shrimp or a blue colour morph of a "green" shrimp. Their are no natural blue shrimp in the atyid group worldwide so it is possible they are dyed. Can't tell with the white one perhaps a snowball shrimp or golden bee shrimp.
