Yep. Albino tiger oscar. Expect it to reach 11-13 inches and potentially become quite territorial and destructive as an adult. They take about 2-3 years to reach adult size, and they need at least a 48"x18" footprint as adults. Great fish; they eat well, they're easy to take care of (when provided enough space), and they're full of personality.

Oscar............ as you can see some of the markings on the body....they are quiet interactive fishes and they are prone to HITH

Oscar was the fish that started my cichlid hobby.

I'm looking to get an Oscar again. Bringing back the feeling when I fell in love with cichlids
