I have a tiger oscar and a jack dempsey in the same tank. I want to get one or two more oscars. And seeing as how I'm a man who enjoys variety, I don't want another tiger oscar. Unfortunately, the pet stores in my area only carry the tiger oscar, and occasionally the red oscar. I can never find the other types, such as the albino, albino tiger, or the common oscar. What I would really love is one of the rare types, such as the red lutino or lemon. I have no idea where to get one, or what site I may be able to find one on for purchase. Can anyone help?

first of all, have you got the tank size to accommodate more fish?

I don't know where you live, but you can buy fish mail order. Many people do it this way, especially in the USA where quite often, they live miles from fish shops. Just type in something like "mail-order tropical Fish UK" or wherever you live.

in the u.s. jeff rapps has a great selection of fish and a solid reputation for their stock. however you do need a large tank to accomodate 4 oscars and a jack. i would say in the 200 imperial gallon range.

In my nearby pet shop, there are juvenile size albino and golden tiger oscars (2 inches long). However, proximity of my place will not allow you to have them.
