Is there a such thing as a zebra oscar or are they just tiger oscars that people are calling zebras? i have heard there is but i cant find much on them. Any body got one or know of a place that sells them. I really want one to put in my new 240 with my albino,tiger, and red.
 
I've never heard of a zebra oscar. I'm assuming its just another name for a tiger oscar.
 
I have seen many tigers labeled zebra but at one LFS they had many babies labeled "wild zebra oscars"..They were the greatest looking oscar i had ever seen. Their color was nothing like a regular tiger oscar i had ever seen around 3-4 inches. One of the greatest fish i have ever seen but idk what it will grow out to be like.
 
thanks guys. anybody know anything else about these guys?
 
what Oscar is this?

one of my LFS also sells the "wild zebra oscar". It is Black with whitish or yellowy thin striping. I am unsure about much else, I just know that is what it looks like. I have been seeing more and more of these. as well as oscars without patterns, or "long fin" oscars... they are becoming more common in my area. I have even seen these black oscars at Petco and Petsmart being sold as normal tigers.

A photoshop oscar? I saw and article about that, and no one could come up with any genuine info on it. I would love it if somone could prove me wrong but of all my searching I have never seen one outside that exact picture. Belive me if I had I would have smoked a credit card and a half for a marine biologist to escort that bad boy right to my doorstep. You would figure if it were real there would be hoards of people trying not only to get their hands on them but also documenting their growth.
