Have you ever seen a "long fin Oscar"????

Someone posted this over at AC, and I thought it was very "odd" looking kinda looks like a betta on steroids or something, and was wondering are these "real" I've never heard of or seen one before now...

I've seen them quite often in the LFS, its a shame really I think they look like crap with long fins...

They've been around a long time BUT its been awhile since Ive seen a full grown one.

I see them all the time at my lfs

Really? They are so "different"...are they hybrid or something or is this really a strain of the Oscar??

 

[Toopato]

yeah its called veil tailed, veil tailed albino tiger oscars are awesome

Ew, looks ugly, but so do most oscars. They sell them as juveniles from time to time at my lfs.

Are their temperaments and everything the same as a regular Oscar? It looks just so Odd, but I think I like it? I always look at my bettas and think if they could be big...LMAO! I don't know what I think exactly...now I feel kinda silly cause I haven't seen one before...but it just through me off so much when I first saw the pic, I might need one...just cause it kinda looks like I should feel sorry for it, I know I'm odd sorry

I think I might like the dark one better, if I saw one...does anyone here have one???

Yeah, nothing different about them except for their fin length.

Hmmm, I know they are kinda weird to look at...but I may have to try and find a dark one, maybe?
