What will this oscar look like as an adult?

I'm sorry to say that most adult Oscars I've seen don't have that pattern. I think it'll lose most of it's pattern as it gets older and it will probably have some red around the belly and the ocellaris spot will become more pronounce.

When I bought him I never expected him to look this way for long (I say he keeps the pattern 4-5months tops), but I'm impatient and want to know what he'll look like
It won't take long to find out - if well fed and offered regular W/C it'll grow well quick
Show your pic of your baby oscar to the people on http://www.oscarfish.com/ they will tell u what it will look like.

Yeah he's a tiger sort of, but have you ever heard someone call their oscar a 'walnut' oscar? It's basically a nickname for tiger O's that have this 'maze' type pattern, instead of the spaced out 'stripes'.
My point being that I had one of them 'walnut' type tigers and when he was around 9" he looked like a red oscar or a half way point between a red and a tiger.
