Definitely a Macrobrachium, but the image isn't good enough for me to hazard a guess at what species (and there are around 250...). Cheliped shape and the green stripe around the rostrum (if that's not just a photographic artifact) suggest that it's not M. rosenbergii (one of the species commonly available at that size and price range) but I'd need better shot to say anything for sure.
