Anyone ever heard of a Gold Oscar?

[jmerrow]

I bought a Oscar from my LFS about 10 years ago and they said it was a Gold Oscar. I kept the fish for about 9 months and it grew to 8 inches but would kill anything i tried to keep with it in a 90 gallon tank so I sold it back to the LFS. I have been trying to find another one and I can't find anything on that type of fish.

Any ideas?

Well I guess they were right with the name now if I could only find another one. I should have thought it was special because when you trade a fish in at my LFS they give a dollar per inch of fish (instore credit) but the guy gave me $35.00 for an 8 inch fish.

Thanks that helps
