Albino Red Tiger Oscar

About the Albino Red Tiger Oscar

The Albino Red Tiger Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) is a striking variant of the popular Oscar, known for its vibrant red markings against a creamy white or pale orange body. 

These fish can grow up to 12-14 inches and are highly interactive, often recognizing their owners and even being trained to eat from hand. 

They are generally peaceful towards tank mates of similar size but should be housed with caution due to their size and potential to eat smaller fish.
