Al10,
I'm in SC for the week for work, but when I get back we can discuss more in depth collecting locations if you would like. I've caught each of those species and am the photographer for all but the brown shrimp. The short of it is I caught them between new Bern and the beach.

wow, that's awesome.

 

thank you for all the help btw.

Is the arrow shrimp common? I was mainly interested in that one to keep in a tank alone.

The arrow shrimp is very common on sea grass beds in the sounds. You can catch dozens in a seine, but they are very hard to see amongst the grass.

ok, would they do ok in brackish water? Or only salt?
