How big will a mature cleaner shrimp be?

I'm looking into getting a shrimp for my nano (29 gals), and the cleaner shrimp seems like a good choice. How big do these get when fully matured? I don't want a huge shrimp that will outgrow the aquarium, obviously. If a cleaner shrimp would not be appropriate, could anyone offer some suggestions? Thanks!

What species are you considering?
IMO all Lysmata sp. Cleaner Shrimp are compatible with a 29 gallon tank. I would suggest at least a pair of the same species.
