Anyone know what type of oscar this is? is it a weird or unique mix?

wow, that is a very unique looking Oscar you have there. Its like a red mixed with a lutino tiger. can you post a video with the fish in action. that would give us a better view.

where did you get it?

i got him/her at petsmart for 20$ i thought he looked like a new type so i got him and okay ill try to upload a video.

Good looking fish!
Just a shame you cannot judge what it'll look like in 2 years time, forthey tend to transform drastically over time.
Nevertheless it's a looker.
Can't wait for the video!

that's true but i'd still like to know if it is a new breed.

i don't think so, Oscars come in all shades and colours, and this may be a special fish, but to say it's a new breed, is a bit much.

the combining of different oscars results in odd colours and lately i saw a pink oscar, that was over the top.
the pink colour was strange, and it made the fish look very "not-oscar-like".
Keeping my fingers crossed yours keeps this colour!

It's beautiful!! Re the pink one...that wasn't a dyed fish was it?

I doubt petsmart would sell dyed fish n i personally,wouldnt by one so i doubt it's dyed . It's probably a unique mix

in my case, no, deffo not.
i know it's done, but i never came across dyed fish in my country.
plus the pink one was part of an adult breeding pair, so most dye would have come off, if i'm correct.

If u want to see the fish better heres the video-

on vid it has most features of a lutino.
with the red eye of an albino.

nice looking fish, i hope it isnt dyed

I hope it keeps its interesting colours, its very distinctive and unusual
