Albino tiger oscar

[John2708]

hi iv noticed that my 2 albino oscars have trouble seeing they seem to to miss when striking for food is this a gentic disablity in albon oscars ?

Mine don't have sight problems....all my oscars miss food sometime. I think its normal

It's normal for oscars to miss food. I think its because where their eyes are located on their bodies. There is so much space between their eyes that it is hard for them to see in the middle.

hmm iv never noticed it on my other oscars first time with albinos to me they seem spaced out like there not fully aware of there surroundings

I have noticed my albino O to miss food more often than my JD

Here is a general sense of a fish's blind spot:

Most albinos of any species have vision problems. Many "learn" to compensate but in some indivuals it takes much more effort to adjust.
