I bought this oscar about 4 months ago, he orignally was 2inches and a very pale yellow.. I thought this was a "Lemon Oscar" when i saw him, because he was yellow, but he was labeled as albino tiger oscar at my lfs(not petsmart or any of those, its a very nice fish dedicated store). however as he started to grow he looks more orange with just a yellow head and a funny lip.. My question is, what would you all classify him as?
(Horrible pic, i only have my cell phone since my camera is busted, and dont mind the old trophies and such, those are just behind his tank) The oscar is currently alone in a 55 gallon and eats like a hog! he is a little roughed up because i attempted to put him in my 125 with my big tiger oscar but he was still two small to try and defend himself... Thank you eveyone..

are those trophies in your tank
 
no they are behind it, on a shelf behind my fish tank.. Albino red? thats what im thinking, he does have a funny lip, almost like an overbite.. Thank you!
 
How much has he grown in the 4 months you've had him?
 
Interesting color havent seen one like it
 
Definetly a nice color! Mine looked like he had an overbite when he was that small too. I got Iggy in the beginning of November at 2 inches and now he is over 8. I am having problems trying to figure out if Iggy is male or female. Anyone have any ideas?
