is there supposed to be a pic and I just cant see it? If not, how are we supposed to determine the oscars origins without more details?
Unless you ordered it special as a wild-caught I truly doubt it is. "Common" just means your garden variety Oscar. Who are every bit as 'cool' as wild-caughts in my eyes 
my camera isnt working. my lfs got them from his vendor. they are not tiger oscars. they have no red. they are heavily marbled with that bronze/gray color. much different pattern than a tiger.
I've got tons but you'll find plenty in the Photo section of MFK, too. That won't do you much good in determining if what you've got is a common/Tiger though. Because like I said-juvies look way different than adults.joworth;3169530; said:
FYI: a 30 g isn't big enough for a 'grow-out' tank for 2 Oscars, not for longer than a few wks.
