I have noticed from different Web-sites and Auctions that there are Tigers with Black Stripes, Reddish Brown Stripes, and some have Orange coloration on there Head & Tail while other are missing the Orange.

I was wondering if these are just from different collection sites or could these be sub-species ?

Red stripes = sick?
Maybe it a Chinese zebra?

Sorry
I should have said Reddis Brown.

I know 1 Hobbyiest that has the Reddish Brown Stripes and Black stripes all in the same tank and they are very healthy and the colors range from young shrimp to adults.

I'd imagine they're just diffferent color morphs of a single species. After all, cherry and snowball shrimp were selectively bred from variable-colored stock.

If shrimp breeders were well organized, we could breed for the kwisatz haderach of shrimp!

Ah, the shrimp who is in many tanks at once, ruler of the pool filter sandworms...
