Cheers..most the ones you see round here are albinos or red tigers..never seen one that had this colouration..

Juvenile wild Os have that green color.

Thanks for that..so are the wilds not seen as often?...

The wilds are not as much in demand since more colorful and longer-finned variants became available.

Wild coloration.
He'll lose that crazy patterning as he matures. Its just jeuvi patterning right now.

He'll probably look more wild as an adult. Less orange, more green and tans.

Certainly not a rare find. But a really nice find never the less.

Nice new fish stu. I got to admitt i never see any of the "normal" strains, just albinos and red tigers like you said.

Nice pick up! They're also referred to as "common" oscars, but as other members have noted, they're less common in recent times.

If those were available when I was setting up my tank, I would've chose those over the tiger o's I got.
