I've mostly seen these referred to as ablino red oscars.

 

[pops]

if he develops any graying on the fins, its a lutino, also called a lemon Oscar.

this does not accure(sp) in the wild,

ok so it is either albino red oscar or lemon..

i will pay more attention on his fins, as pops said.. if he develops any graying on its fins then it is lemon oscar then..

thank you

As Pops said these are all simply line bred (for color) designer/common color strain oscars, not really different types (species) unless you're someone who sees a blue guppy as a different type than a green one.
