Description
The Red Tiger Oscar is a stunning and vibrant freshwater cichlid, known for its striking red-orange body and dark, tiger-like markings. This visually captivating variation of the classic Oscar, with its eye-catching appearance, grows up to 12 inches, making it a dynamic and engaging centerpiece in large aquariums. Highly interactive and intelligent, Red Tiger Oscars can recognize their owners and are known for their curious and personable nature. They thrive in tanks of at least 70 gallons with stable water conditions and efficient filtration. Due to their territorial behavior, they should be housed with similarly sized or non-aggressive tankmates. With a varied diet of high-quality pellets, frozen foods, and occasional live treats, the Red Tiger Oscar's health and vibrant colors will flourish. A perfect choice for aquarists seeking both a visually stunning and interactive fish, this Oscar brings personality and beauty to any aquarium.
