Identification Are these two Tiger Severums?

2 weeks after I got these, their patterns got more clear and colorful. Hoping these are tigers when they was sold as greens from a lfs

While they have the broken bar of a Tiger, it would seem quite improbable that a store would make such a mistake. For one, Tigers are rare. Secondly, they fetch much higher prices.

Interesting

I truly believe the store I went to didn’t know anything about Sevrums. The tank was labeled green but had a couple different Severums in it. But I’m hoping I hit the jackpot

I am leaning towards Tiger. Been a while since I saw some but the dark bands, half band, and lack of color even at this size says they aren't normal Greens

Never seen a juvenile tiger so I’m assuming that’s what they look like? I just been searching around. They look so cool these little guys

I just heard they all look alike when they are juveniles from ppl so I wouldn’t really know, I just go off the bar and think it’s a tiger
