just out of curiosity because its bugging me, are tiger oscars any different to red tiger oscars? or is it false labelling?

at one of my LFS's there is a tank with O's in it and there are prices for them but there are some labelled Tiger Oscars and some labelled Red Tiger Oscars. The red tigers are more expensive. are they really that diverse? or do you suspect as i do that the shop is renaming the ones with denser colors and making more profit?

input/feedback appreciated.

Cheers
Timmo.

I'd think that red tiger Oscars are labelled like that simply because they have even more red on them as the "normal" tiger Oscars. They're all the same species after all, so in the end what they are labelled is defined by their looks.

Can't see anything wrong really at wanting more money for the ones with more red, even though it's certainly for the profit. That is, as long as the ones labelled "red tiger Oscars" really have more red on them than the others, else it would be fooling the customers of course.
