tiger oscar

One of the most popular and well-known South American Cichlids in the aquarium hobby, the Oscar is a large growing, relatively aggressive fish (especially towards other cichlids) and a popular food fish in its native habitat in the Amazon Basin. They are intelligent and highly interactive fish that will quickly learn to “beg” for food and make impressive display fish. Due to their large adult size, Oscars require large aquariums and should be kept with similarly sized tankmates. This species has been selectively bred in the hobby for many years, resulting in a number of different color forms. Our assortment can include strains such as Red Tiger, Albino, Red, and Ruby Albino.
