If it`s real it is amazing. I saw a picture years ago of an Oscar, supposedly from a tributary of the Amazon, that the lower half of the fish was bright red. The write up said it was a hard to get to location so don`t expect to see them any time soon. I haven`t.
that's really cool. i wonder if it would constitute a third species in the astronotus genus or if it'd just be considered a color variation of one of the existing species. considering how different it looks surely it would be classified as a new species? but then, i'm no ichthyologist, so who knows!
I don’t know anything about this fish just thought it looked interesting .
If you image search “marbled Oscar “
You can see a couple of pictures but not to this extent.
I wonder how it will look as it matures. If you look closely, there's a person's thumb on the side which suggest that this is a juvie around 3"-4" (give or take). All juvie Oscars have awesome patterns at a small size.
