Ok, here is the picture of a female Tiger-Bee Shrimp hybrid. It's a little fuzzy but it does the job:

Hi All,

She looks almost the same as a tiger with the exception of the added white sporadic markings on her.

Interesting.

Thanks Mustafa,

TKD

PS If I did not know she was I hybrid I probably would have thought she was a normal tiger.

I was expecting white tail and black head with tiger markings :-D . yeah it looks exactly like a tiger, maybe abit darker. Even the little white markings are from the tiger as well.

Compare the two,

Although the hybrid looks more like a tiger shrimp, there is quite a bit of a difference actually. it does not become quite apparent in the picture, bu the front part is dark like a bee shrimp. Also the stripes are much straighter. In real life it becomes quite apparent that this shrimp is not a tiger shrimp.
