Rare Oscars

[Vitaliy]

I just came across these pictures about these "rare" Oscars

Any of you guys keep these? Ever saw these? Know where I can get these? Have any more info on them (ex: are they hybrids?)?

 

[rweedon]

I would really doubt that they are a hybrid probably just a breeder with way too much time on his hands... but I guess that is good for us huh?

Those are wild types. Found in different tributaries thats why they have variations.

Wild oscars some are from Brazil

Oscars occur in almost every country on the S. Am. continent.
Redtailfool is right-those are wild collected fish. You can take a look at various wild oscars I've imported and photographed here in my photo gallery

those are the oscars i would want tp keep if i were to ever have the urge again.

Anybody know if they have the same behavior, agression and growth size of your typical oscar? I would love to get one.
