Which should I look into getting if I just want a good looking, naturally colored shrimp that isn't going to die because I looked at them wrong?
 
Amano are hardy and have a nice look, excellent cleaners too. Most cultivated caridina are quite picky, Neocaridina (like cherries) are usually quite hardy.

Amano's are hardy. Gold Nebula Shrimp (Caridina villadolidi) seem to be about the same. Neocaridina are definitely hardier than caridina which are hardier than the Sulawesi. Ghost Shrimp tend to be bulletproof and they also cost like 25 cents each so if a few die...
