Picked up 10 of these shrimp at my LFS. They had them labeled as Zebra Shrimp but they look like Tiger's to me. What do you think?

I agree... Zebra.

Tigers have thinner, more regular stripes.

Nice pick up either way though! :)

An indian Zebra looks different with thicker diagonal bands.
A Chinese zebra is orange with white stripes and black tooth marks
This pic is a chinese zebra

It is a tiger, I have full grown tigers that have stripes like that and others with thiner stripes. Some of my thicker striped tigers turned light blue on me. Not sure what caused it but I'm not complaining :)

if they are orange eyed they have the tendancy to turn quite dark blue
