Albino Red Tiger Oscar

The Albino Red Tiger Oscar brings a pale body and contrasting red-to-orange pattern to a large freshwater aquarium. This ornamental form of Astronotus ocellatus shares the bold, interactive character of other Oscars. Each fish develops its own pattern, so the amount and intensity of color will vary.

Aquarium & care

Expect a substantial adult of approximately 12–14 inches (30–35 cm), sometimes more. For one adult, we recommend around 120 US gallons (450 L) or larger and a base at least 5 × 2 feet. Provide extra space for a compatible pair or other large fish. Aim for 75–81°F (24–27°C), pH 6.0–7.5 and dependable filtration. Keep swimming areas open, secure heavy decorations and protect the heater. Regular water changes are essential for this messy feeder.

Feeding

Use nutritious cichlid pellets with varied supplements such as thawed krill, shrimp or suitable insects. Include some vegetable-based food and feed sensible portions. Neither feeder fish nor mammal meat is needed for a balanced aquarium diet.

Temperament & tankmates

Oscars are territorial, particularly when breeding, and small fish or shrimp may become prey. Choose companions by adult size and disposition. Similar size alone does not guarantee compatibility; watch feeding access and aggression, and be ready to separate fish that cannot settle together.
