Wasnt quite sure as I have had my O Eddie for quite some time now, but a friend came over last night and told me that he thought my O was some kind of mixed Oscar he said they call them Marble oscars, I was pretty sure he was a tiger oscar and he just hadnt started to develop the red coloration.. so if anyone has any ideas on whether or not he is in fact a tiger or another breed of oscar that would be great

If He is the one in your Avitar he would be a Tiger Oscar or Red tiger... People call Osacrs all sorts of different names but that is what it all boils down to!

Okay yeah I figured he was a Tiger O, but yeah my friend said that he was a Marble Oscar due to the Gold coloration instead of red. I will post more pics but yes he is the fish in my avitar!

Marble, velvet and green were the names used before the red, tiger, lutino and albino came about. If my memory serves me correctly.
I am not very sure how long the red's etc have been going about but back in the late 70's when I got my first tank it was mainly the first three that you saw in the LFS's....

Correct me if I am wrong.....

some shops come up with 'new' names for oscars if they look a bit different when small but they all usually turn out to one of the standard types, tiger, red, albino and less common veil tail
I can't get no sleep
