Any thoughts?

I've seen them for sale somewhere. Jeff Rapps maybe? Don't know much about them, but I wouldn't mind getting one at some point in time.

Its not an oscar, but another sub species. Yes Rapps does sell them.

This is a sub species it grows slightly smaller than the Oscar and a little thicker! There is little known about this fish i'm lead to belive i personally don't know an awful lot about this perticular fish species but if you like i'll do some noseying for you and gather some info or you could try and google it and read up youir self !
