Rare/unique Oscars

[Quo Vadis]

I'd love to see any pictures people have of their rare or unique Oscars. I am newer to Os, but have really have been enjoying mine, I may well be one way to a favorite type of fish. That said, as cute as little Tiger Os are, they often aren't nearly so cute when they grow up... But I have seen pictures recently of some Os that are really unique because they are a rare color morph (lemons, goldens, etc.), because of where they were collected as WC individuals, or because they are actually a different species/subspecies (e.g. Crassipinnis). So if you have any unique colors or species of Oscars or any Wild Caught Oscars, post some pictures. I am especially interested in seeing how wild Oscars vary by location.

I'll come back on post some pics of mine. I have a couple Crassipinnis Os, and a "red" Oscar that is a unique solid Copper-olive color I really enjoy.

I need to update pictures of my Rapp's Bumblebee but this is when I first got him about a month ago.

I know this may seem to be a technicality....
but many of the yellow, red, other colors (Tiger for instance) and long fin are man made/selectively bred aquarium strains, produced in the same way Betta splendens or koi/goldfish have over the decades, become so many variations, but these are not true, separate species.
A crassipinnis, and orbicularis are true natural species.

Yeah, I know all the various colors are A. Ocellatus, the only other species of Astronotus is Crassipinnis, and possibly the Orbics. All other are just regional or man made variants. I just meant I'd like pictures of rare Astronotus species, colors, or WC pictures

I kind of feel like we need to post a bunch of pics off Rapp's website since he seems to sell all the cool WC types.

Haha, looking at his pics online was what inspired me to make this post. There are just so many cool looking Oscars out there, and most people have never seen any but the common LFS tigers and albinos.

Here are two of mine - Crassipinnis in front and my common red O (whose color I like to call "copper") behind.

Gorgeous Gold O!! I actually bought my red because even though he is darker he sort of reminded me of Gold Os I'd seen in pictures. Did you get yours from Rapps?
