They're both caridina cantonensis. Just different color morphs or var.
Scientific Classification of Bee vs. Tiger?

I wanna say tigers are the same species as crystals. However, I have no proof as it's just from what I understood or seemed to ascertain from my interest in shrimping.
Genus Species
Caridina Cantonesis sp "Tiger"
Caridina Cantonesis sp "Bee"
The sp followed by "" should represent a nickname, sometimes a place holder until the exact species and such is hammered out....from what I understand.
So CRS and Tigers could be different species....and they're placed into the same species for now.
It's an interesting topic that you bring up. I feel like the patterns of CRS and tigers are so drastically different that they deserve to be different species.....but yet it maybe also considered a racial difference in patterning.....not to be racist but like Hispanic, Asian, African, or Caucasian people.
I'm interested to find out the answer too
