The difference is just thickness of black stripes and possibly the yellowness of the head and tail. Having said that even the super tiger shrimp shipments have individuals with thin stripes and no yellow and the "normal" tiger shrimp shipments have shrimp that have thick stripes and lots of yellow. Tiger shrimp are very variable in general.

And yes, you can keep them together as long as your pH is around 7 or a little above. Tiger shrimp are more sensitive to high pH situations.
