My house.
I saw this guy in my lfs today. I have always had a soft spot for Oscar but stay away from them for the most part because I try and collect more exotic fish. This guy really stood out to me and I was wondering what your take on him was. All the other fish were your typical TR Oscar.

Super nice looking. I wonder is he a cross with an albino.
 
Cute little bugger, but they change color so much as they grow it's anyone's guess what it would turn out to be. My guess is just another tiger oscar.

Yeah I hope that his coloration continues to be unique. I was also referring to his fins. They are all so Sharp and pointy. Don't Oscars have more rounded fins usually?
 
Can't say for the fins, but this little guy's coloration will most certainly change. This is very common for oscars. You don't want to base your purchase of a little one solely on coloration.

I know my tiger O had a lot of that Army drab green on him when he was tiny. Not so much any more.
 
It could be an offspring from long finned oscars that didn't make the cut to be sold as a long fin oscar.
