Hey guys figured Id ask the experts since I have never bred a fish before. Right now I have a long fin albino oscar and a long fin tiger oscar that I want to try to breed with my gold oscar. Now Im no expert in biology (scraped by with a C) So I was wondering if its even possible to get both of those genes into the one set of fry?
 
Yes, it is possible. You might have to line breed if either trait goes recessive in the first generation. If your goal is simply to produce at least one specimen that is gold and has long fins, you will probably succeed in a generation or two.
 
That would depend on how much inbreeding you're willing to risk.
