Different Strains/Species of Oscar Fish

PDF Print E-mail

This page will contain as many strains/species of Oscar that we can find. Some of them are more of common than others. All the fish on this page have the same thing in common, none of them will be found in the wild. All of these fish have been bred from the original Wild Oscar. Wild, or Common Oscars as they are also known as are still available. However, most of them are bred in captivity and are not taken from the wild.

  

 

Red Oscar

 

The Red Oscar appeared in the late 60s. It was bred in Thailand

 

 

Tiger Oscar

 

The Tiger Oscar is the closest you will get to the original wild Oscar when it comes to colouring

 

 

Albino Oscar Fish

 

 

A true albino is normally white with no colour pigmentation whatsoever.

Oscars that have a white body with red or orange are normally referred to as albino. Strictly speaking, they are actually Lutino or Leucistis

Before purchasing Veil tail Oscars, bear in mind that their fins can become damaged very easily. Damage fins can often become infected.
